Yesterday Hervor, the Little's and I went bushwalking. It was a beautiful day and the feeling that spring had finally sprung was evident in the native flowers that at times tried to act invisible. The Australian bush has the knack of looking quite drab but on closer inspection throws up some extremely colourful little flowers. Unlike rainforests where flowers can be large and garish, our flowers are understated, but no less beautiful.
Caladenia Flava (Cowslip Orchid)
Chorizema Retrorsum
...and some (as yet) unidentified little creature.
Although the walk was beautiful, it informed me of just how unfit I have become. Lucky the warm weather is coming because if there was too much more of winter I'm certain that walking to the mailbox and back would result in muscle failure, lung failure and a cardiac arrest.
Praise the sunshine!
