Got a fab blue sky with just a little breeze. Perfect for a 9am game of Shoalhaven Heads pickleball.
Cycled down - played for an hour - cycled back to cook breakfast
Gave me a half day free to take a drive and walk to find orchids. Had looked up on iNat some spots in Huskisson. Picked a spot in Jervis Bay NP I have not walked
iNat said there were sun orchids and flying duck orchids
Sandy track under the powerlines heading down to Moona Moona Creek with a ribbon of bush between the track and tbe house and the track and the creek - slender rice flower to start
Sparkly flax lily
Lots of milk maids - umbrellata burchardia
Did find a flying duck orchid - caleana major - right in the low grassy edges of the sand track
Location shot
Loofah flower - my name
A few milkwort flowers
Less likely to find orchids this close to the creek - proved to be true
Moona Moona Creek
Looks like leptospermum - looked it up. English name is wedding bush
This is the seed ball to match
Budding hyacinth orchid
Close up
One more - spots suggest dipodium variegatum
This is leptospermum squarrosum
More flying duck orchids - caleana major. A photo challenge with different light and shade
Matching leaf. Most orchid leaves are green - these are not
Front on
Seeded orchid - maybe caladenia alata
White kunzea
Was not expecting this fire trail sign. I often walk this from the other end and have never got this far.
Was a good trail for flying ducks
Pick where to focus
Try the bottom one
Not a double header but two plants intertwined
Down low on track edge
Turned around here. One of these days I will walk as far from the other side. Never know what I will find
Light and dark for flying ducks
Hibbertia in yellow
Open and closing
One last hurrah for flying ducks
Drove down to where Moona
Moona creek meets the sea to have my lunch. Nice spot to soak in the blue
Pleased I did the iNat check as it offered up orchids in a spot I would not have thought about
Cycled over the caravan park next door to have a drink with the Bike Friday cycling group. We start our weekend away tomorrow. Nice chat. Cooked dinner at home. Been a more social day than is normal
