Sheldon Forest and first bootlace orchid for the season : September 11 2026
Woke to a grey sky day with sun forecast later on. My wife headed out for a sewing session early. Was aiming for a quiet day - local walk vs trip to walk flat in the city. Knee is improving
Did the local walk choice - train two stations up the line to walk Sheldon Forest in Turramurra. Pea flower on the way in
A splash of white along the fence
Cloud broken up - treetop photo of one of the remant blue gum forests left. I like walking here - nit fsr below the top of the hill and no traffic noise - only birds
Hypericum with spotted bug
Pink opener
Fingers orchid - checked every one - all look like standard white fingers. Not this one - signs of carmine bands - a hybrid catenata
Tinges of pink on this caladenia catenata
No bug this shot
Side on of pure white form with yellow tip and green back. Not even the customary pink spot
Pink spot and pink colour on show
A few acianthus leaves below - the heart shaped leaf - and a closing white flower above
Pea flower
Crinkled up caladenia flower
More touches of pink further down the track - no pink spot
Mission for the day accomplished - black bootlace orchid in flower. This flower high up a plant that has climbed over 3 metres above ground
Easier photo work for the plant coming up from the ground - erythorchis casuthoides - fire time opener for the season
A bit more front on
Chose to walk back the way I came to avoid hill work. Knee is still sore.
Managed another 10k steps day - some quiet day
Made leftover dinner - chicken stroganoff
Stayed up late for market open. Short on SPX opened safe - no need to get up during the night
