At home day becomes a Richmond Park walk day : September 3 2025

Was heading for a slow day after a few big days.

Got some chores done - get rwady for fire inspection. Tidied up the one garden bed.
.Got Could see it shaping up - went to shops to get that out of the way

What to do? Take photos of the flowers in the small garden - pink rock orchid - 2nd bud time

Kalanchoe flower just opening up - come from our old house and survived a few soakings in the perpetual water pot

A few buds showing - the paint has a good 20 going. They sell $20 a spike

Aloe has pushed out flowers - also come from our old house - in a pot

Lime tree is new - pushing out some flowers - taken some work to nail leaf curl mite - maybe some limes next season

Dead headed the daisies - will push out a new crop of flowers soon

Had done the steps for the day - easy to say enough. But I wanted to get out - walked up to Richmond Park - hoping for a spring orchid.

Two tone azalea in the local park on the way

Two tone camellia in similar tones

Did a small side street wander. Found an apartment in the Gordon Quarter - an Anglicare aged care facility. Wonder how much that would cost?

Into the bush - leptospermum blooming - not sure of ID - not squarrousm

The nodding greenhoods have finished - rosette and a spike - the dead flower not showing

Lots of hypericum all the way through the bush

Never tire of this photo down the turpentine forest against the light. This is a good spot to walk as there is no traffic noise and no aircraft above

Did the side track to look for orchids in the open areas. A lot of acianthus orchid leaves - this one seeding with an attendant spider

Oxalis escapee from a garden above

House for sale - on Park Avenue - this is an important site. One block across has been a proposal for a 30 story apartment block. This one could be part of the next idea. Buy - wait - buy next door or below - wait - buy - get approval

Whatever happens we know that this grand old house will disappear into an apartment block or a Georgian style mansion

Walk done - doubled the steps for the day. So much for a rest day

Cooked.dinner for a friend

Italian meatballs with pasta - a favourite
