This coming weekend is big number birthday - 70 - yep - hard to believe. We have friends coming over for a walk in bbq. Need to have some aged red wine. Drive down to wine storage to collect a case of red. Have been collecting for years

alt

Stopped in Garigal NP on the way back. Hoping to find a few specific orchids. Pea flower to start the flow

alt

Surprised to find heath flowers still flowering - 2nd type for the day. First photo was deleted - out of focus

alt

Also surprised to see epacris longiflora still flowering but always see them here if they are going

alt

Chiloglottis orchids survived the track wirknin good numbers - fewer spots as the track work holds water back and they do not like wet feet

alt

Was a mushroom - a mini one in the chiloglottis orchid leaves

alt

Pearl coloured mushroom. Tough photo work in low light - the bright parts grab the light and kill the focus. Did delete a lot of photos on what turned out to be a mushroom day

alt

More success with orchid leaves and mushroom shots

alt

Not seen this before. No help from iNat either

alt

Do know this one - five corners

alt

Another winter surprise - hakea opening up months early

alt

Location shot

alt

Enter shot of a heath flower in the afternoon light

alt

Sand nest uo high. Judging by the size of the entry way going to sat wasp nest. Have never seen one this big

alt

Big enough mushroom to get a decent shot

alt

Coral fungus

alt

A bit smaller but big enough mushrooms to allow focus

alt

Another surprise for midwinter - a spray of Sydney boronia

alt

Close up

alt

No orchids flowering but there were flower spikes on these pterostylis orchids. The shape of the leaves has me confused. They look like orchids to come - maybe last season spikes

alt

Also late flowering - red spider grevillea. We have not really had winter yet - most days over 20C

alt

The grand daddy of mushrooms for the day growing at the base if a tree trunk

Good walk. Got the steps done. Got some aged red wine for the walk in

Was at home for my birthday gift delivery. A box of wine- probably special.

Did cook bbq dinner for my wife and a friend - they working on apartment matters.
