A noisy start to the day. Some floor work going on above - a floor away. Getting.like my grandfather - cannot handle noise. He served 4 years in WWI trenches in Europe from 1914. He knew noise. Dragged the body out to catch a train - was going toward the city

alt

Well the trains did not play. Cancellation in the direction I wanted to go. No problem - go the other way and replanted from there. All I want is a slice of bush to walk

alt

All good being flexible. Train went 3 stations and stood for ages - signal up front says no go. Just got out and planned a different walk.

alt

Walked down a road in Warrawee never walked - some grand old house - a few with long driveways. Woodlands is a good name

alt

A bit more old world across the street

alt

Rivenhall for sale

alt

Another grand house for sale - photo looks like a grand old place

alt

The best shot I could get through the trees

alt

A few houses down - still grand

alt

Archways. Fab street to live in - dead end going up to sustain which is walking distance. Far enough away to not hear trains.

alt

Red brick and old style.

alt

Road ran into a park I walked a bit when I loved down that way. White faced heron in Karuah Park.

alt

Decided to walk down to what was my local track - Lovers Jump Creek. Not walked it in the 30 months since we moved away

alt

Was blessed to see a lyre bird scoot across the path. See if you can find it on the log

alt

Budding grand greenhood - pterostylis baptistii - flowering next month. Rain started to sprinkle about then

alt

Started to pour down. Hid under a big tree next to the creek for the rain to ease off. Eventually decided to head home - race up o the hill to find cover and a bus stop.

alt

Did check a few known orchid spots just above where I was. Did know the maroonhoods would be flowering. The local bushcare people or the council have strimmed the big colony. These are from the other side of the track

alt

Front on - pterostylis pedunculata - one of only two spots I know of in the LGA

alt

Had planned to walk the track east to get the bus. The rain was all that side - went back to the blue. Found a budding chiloglottis orchid in a known spot

alt

And another

alt

One flowering - chiloglottis formicifera - with raindrops

alt

Greenhood rosette in a known spot - no spikes

alt

For Sale board - house next door to my friend. Back of her silver car in shot

alt

A super quiet place at the end of a dead end street

alt

Rain cleared - walked the way the bus would go - stop by stop eye on the timetable. Fab orchid in this front garden

alt

Walked past the lady in pink on a bus stop short of the station. I beat the bus. Turned into a big walk - 4 stations in all. Good to see orchids

Not sure I can walk the track. It carries many happy hours which are no longer on the doorstep

Easy dinner - Chinese fried rice
