Being the spring school holiday, which coincides with Lisa’s birthday, we would normally head away somewhere. The plan had been to take the camper trailer down to the Stirling Ranges, but several things resulted in that not happening. The first being the uncertainty of the outcome from Nicka having to get her sebaceous adenomas checkedContinue reading “True to its name”

Partners in crime
There are now three of us at work discussing our orchid adventures, and we have set up a chat group on which to share our finds. Unlike some orchid enthusiast, who may keep the location of their finds secretive, we also divulge those. That said with Josh’s more distant travels, it is not always likelyContinue reading “Partners in crime”
History repeating itself
I can’t recall when I last had a crack-of-dawn start. While getting up in darkness isn’t all that fun, driving out and watching the hues of the sky change is very cool. I had to pick Howsie up, which meant driving along back beach in Bunbury. As the sky was waking up the distant lightsContinue reading “History repeating itself”
Unlucky for some
Monday arrived and it was time to go hunting again. Lisa is convinced we can train the poodles to sniff out orchids, but I am not so sure. They certainly seemed way too distracted with all the other aromas, as we once again wandered round the wildflower walks near Nannup. Our rationale for this locationContinue reading “Unlucky for some”
The weather makers
Despite the sunny image below, it had unexpectedly been drizzling and raining till mid-morning today. Whether by desire or chance Josh wasn’t able to head out till ten, which worked out well all things considered. Even at that late hour of the morning, and as we drove towards the crag the windscreen wipers were swishingContinue reading “The weather makers”
Let the hammer fall
I was trying to tell myself not to send another post of my orchid hunting this weekend, but as you can tell I didn’t listen to myself. Today I went to two spots, the first being a small patch of bush called the Katherine Chauhan Reserve. No more than 10 acres (4 hectares), surrounded byContinue reading “Let the hammer fall”
Keep moving
This post is short and sweet, a bit like my quick scoot round a community managed reserve found just off the highway on the way to Bunbury. The reason for the dash to this spot, which I had previously never been too, will be revealed later. But what drew my attention was again receiving imagesContinue reading “Keep moving”
D Mob
In their wisdom Australia decided the day to pay respects for the passing of the Queen was Thursday this week. It does seem an odd day seeing her funeral was on Monday and the school term, at least in Western Australia, ends on Friday. But Thursday was chosen to suit just one state, Victoria. ThatContinue reading “D Mob”
The multi-coloured picture show
This week it didn’t look like I was going to get out for a single weekday wander, a stark contrast from the week before. In part I had not received any images from ‘work’ Josh, as oppose to ‘climbing’ Josh, to get me all enthused; also the weather was a bit hit and miss; andContinue reading “The multi-coloured picture show”
Beginners luck
The rain fell as we walked down towards the main cliffs of Wilyabrup, not that it has ever put me off heading out for a climb before. However, today I was joined by a work colleague, Sam, who had never climbed before, neither indoors or outdoors. So it didn’t feel like it was the bestContinue reading “Beginners luck”
