State Forest


The natural forest around here is beautiful.  On a quick drive down a side track we found these pretty ground orchids in flower ... it isn't really surprising that these are known as hyacinth orchids.

    They are gorgeous, Joan. Bush flowers never cease to amaze me. Much more complex than anything man can engineer.

    Wild flowers tend to be heartier than what most of us cultivate in gardens. I'd love to have this one growing nearby.

    That is a beautiful wild flower.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
