Just had to get out the house - getting frustrated - too many things not working right and not in a place to do much about it. Got on a train to walk Ku-ring Gai Track. A walk in three parts - part one is walking along the burned section to see what emerges after a burn

alt

One bearded orchid on track edge - budding

alt

Leaf and spike - calochilus orchid

alt

Got the eye out for flashes of blue - dampiera purpurea

alt

New life in the burned section

alt

Top of tree is showing no signs of life

alt

Reddish new life - eucalyptus

alt

More new life

alt

And more. Onto next part of the walk - path drops down the ridge line - fire did not come down this way

alt

Drumsticks flower - lots of them

alt

Maybe a white flower day

alt

Huge corridor of white

alt

Close up - it is a leptospermum but not the one I know. Petals are narrower with bigger gaps between

alt

Good light for wool spider grevillea - looks white - other name is grey spider grevillea

alt

Lomandra season is on us - chose to walk all the way to the water views

alt

Not an orchid walk down here - too much sheoak. One segment has acianthus orchid leaves

alt

One seeded - guessing acianthus pusillis

alt

Walked side track to views over Cowan Creek northwards

alt

View over the creek to the East

alt

To the south

alt

Over the edge view of two sets of rock orchids - cestichis reflexa the furthest away

alt

Dockrillia linguiformi closer in and behind

alt

Lyrebird art form

alt

Ant action on this spring opener

alt

Mushroom action - bright grabs the light

alt

Violet for my granddaughter Violette

alt

Walked another side track to a big open platform - view of the creek to the south

alt

This would have been a gathering place with flst rocks, clear sky and creek views

alt

Turning into a budding orchid day - first bonnet orchid budding

alt

Interesting mushroom form

alt

Starburst flower opening up

alt

Hibbertia time

alt

Sydney boronia

alt

Ever wondered what happens to a drumsticks flower - they dry out to a husk and then burst in a fluff ball

alt

Wedge pea flower

alt

The leptospermum I know - squarrosum - square

alt

Stopped to pick up some plastic. The brush turkey was following. He scored two blackberries that were with the rubbish

alt

One more budding bonnet orchid

alt

New flower form

alt

Did find budding sun orchid. Flowers below were open- not warm enough for the tops to open

alt

One flying duck orchid found - not well formed and a first find on this track

alt

Matching leaf

alt

One more budding bearded orchid

alt

Slender rice flower

alt

Corner house on the edge of the park has sold

Walked down to Aldi down the road to check on a product for my wife. Sold out

Big walk and one sore knee - too much

Pizza for dinner
