Flying Ducks on 2nd Visit to Turner Fire Trail: My Actifit Report Card: December 2 2021

A slow start to a blue sky day. My mood does not want to get out and moving. Am itching for an easing of lockdown rules. Was thinking of going up to my Hunter Valley property to do some maintenance but could not get motivated. Part of that is I needed to do some shopping for the house. Plan B - go for a drive to walk for orchids and then shop on the way home

Never know what will be orchid of the day - promise of a variegated hyacinth orchid

Two plants

Did find flying duck orchids on Great North Walk in a new location. Only my 2nd walk here

Grand old tree growing on a rock base

Fringe lily - one only

Bright yellow

Views to the north. Walk drops down to the bottom and climbs out the other side. I think I will walk it in 2022 - do it in stages of 3 or 4 days over 2 months.

Australian grass tree recovering after reduction burn

A few more flying ducks - caleana major

Front on and one popped closed

Best photo of the day - light was bright and hard work to manage

Part of a triple header - bud still to open above

There have been a few MTB tracks carved into the bush - all illegal. Normally these are not good for orchids as they open access to dense bush and orchids do not prosper there - did find one flying duck orchid to prove the rule

I do like the walk. It is quiet. There are great views. There is only the occasional noise of the railway line.

Did the shopping in a centre I have not been in for 5 months. I am not supposed to shop outside my LGA or more than 5 kms from home. Easy - pretend to check in and shop away

Did some garden tidy up when I got home.

Dinner: Bbq - lamb chops for me and my wife's friend. Chicken for my wife. Simple food works.
