Another grey rainy day. These do get to my psyche as I want to spend at least a couple hours outside every day. Dig out the umbrella for an umbrella walk and loop around to the shops

alt

By now you know what is coming - rain - autumn - raindrop camellias it is

alt

Plain in white

alt

Rufflette in pink

alt

Pink - raindrops - not a camellia

alt

Back to camellias - white with a touch of pink edging - and raindrops

alt

Two tone and two centres - a bit unusual

alt

Egg and bacon flower showing raindrops well

alt

Richmond Park walkway. It doubles as a cycle path too. A small slice of remnant turpentine forest with a rainforest feel

alt

Mission was to check on the greenhoods. No flowers yet but the first sign of a flower spike emerging

alt

Walked around the edges of the 10 square metres these orchids are. Last time there were only a few plants. Now there are a whack of plants - maybe 50 in all

alt

As close to a flower for this walk - nodding greenhood

alt

Clustering well off track.

Walked fiether up the sealed path to a small side track. Did find a few mosquito orchids flowering. Light was poor and photos were worse. Deleted them

alt

A flash of blue sky through the trees. Welcome back. You have been missed.

alt

A reminder of the season - autumn acer showing its colours

alt

Back to the raindrops theme - a oink bell shaped flower in the nice English garden

Got the shopping done. Umbrella was not needed

Dinner - my wife wanted nachos using the yesterday chilli con carne

alt

Simple enough - lay corn chips on a tray. Lay on some shredded cheese to protect the corn chips from.anything soggy in the sauce

Lay the chilli con carne across the top with another layer of cheese and a sprinkle of chilli flakes - bake at 180C for about10 minutes. Did help that I had already warmed up the chilli in the oven beforehand

alt

Serve with guacamole, tomato salsa, sour cream. Chopped iceberg lettuce and cabbage would be a good addition.
