Things might be drying up at Welly Dam but the Capel Nature Reserve is still full of water. In mid-October I would not usually have too much of an issue wandering round, wherever the fancy takes me. Not today, while I had in mind to visit some of the lesser frequented places it was aContinue reading “Attractive qualities”

Bashed about
This post overlaps with the last one. I ran out of my self-imposed text allocation per image to include details about the specific epithet, which basically mean species name, of the Water Bush (Bossiaea aquifolium). This is derived from two Latin words of acus and folium meaning needle and leaf, and the whole word isContinue reading “Bashed about”
A sensory overload
I saw things had changed when I checked my phone at 4:15am, which was my designated time to get up and ready for a proposed cruisy climb on the coast with Rongy. His body clock had been thrown out by shift work and prevented him from managing to get much sleep, so he decided itContinue reading “A sensory overload”
Lots to celebrate
Some may consider that just thinking about heading out for a wander at the Capel Nature Reserve was not appropriate, on today of all days. Lisa was however heading to F45, her usual workout class, for the first time in several weeks. She’s been figuring out a back injury, and is just starting to getContinue reading “Lots to celebrate”
It’s a dog’s life
An English manuscript in the 16th century, about what I cannot find, reportedly referred to the not so pleasant life of a dog. A life of subservience, fed scraps, kept out in the cold, and only kept alive while it could undertake the works forced upon it by its owners. The phrase coined was notContinue reading “It’s a dog’s life”
The big one
Yesterday was a great day to catch up with general stuff. The things that need sorting but you seem to put off just one more day. In my mind while it was a wet rainy day I did think a quick trip down to Iron Gully Fall might be nice. That is a not tooContinue reading “The big one”
Making an ass of myself
With a wet weekend ahead and being unable to take Friday off, the option of an early morning before work climb was back on the cards. Having the entire day off, Rongy who initiated the discussions decided to use his full day for more leisurely activities. Howsie was still chomping at the bit, and thereContinue reading “Making an ass of myself”
A sticky ending
Over the last few weeks I’ve been sent images by Howsie and work Josh of their finds at more southerly places. Coincidently they happen to have been from two of the places Lisa and I have visited this year, during our short weekend getaways. The images were of course of orchids, and species that areContinue reading “A sticky ending”
Long in the tooth
After an amazing morning at Moses Rocks I intended to go for a wander to look for some orchids. Not sure that I could top the mornings sights, I went anyway thinking the afternoons time in nature would be stunning in its own way. In part urged to go being keen to head to aContinue reading “Long in the tooth”
A day by the breach
I can’t say that I have wondered before, but thinking how to start this post I thought I’d dig into where the term flotsam and jetsam came from. A term so often used to described the odds and sods that we find lying along the coast, and considered to generally refer to rubbish. There isContinue reading “A day by the breach”
