Drive
Since my ankle is still recovering, we decided to make our Saturday outing a long drive. Later we would see we went 1000 kilometers. (621 miles).

We started the day having a small repeat of what we did last Saturday; a visit to the Bakery in Bindoon.

We headed north. We were going to do some orchid hunting. Orchids are like that, it’s almost like a mission or quest. They don’t make it easy. Anyway, I was so happy to be out in the country and see the trees I love so much. It’ outings like this day that reminds me that our Creator loves variety.

One of our stops was Buntine Rocks, we were there in 2013. As you can see on the Twining Fringed lily here, we were in and out of rain all day.

There were really so many flowers around, this one really stood out: Flame Grevillea or Grevillea excelsior

Then, while John was driving, I spotted an orchid! He stopped, backed up. A Sugar orchid. He’s trained me well, from a moving vehicle, I spotted this little thing!

A pause to see our new vehicle in the ‘wild’. We’ve already taken it down a few interesting places. John says it has to earn it’s “stripes.” I just want to baby it. Oh well, I suppose we’re using it for the very purpose it was bought.

Walking a bit farther, (using the umbrella Jeff gave John as a walking stick), we spotted another orchid. An Ant Orchid.

Since this was a first for the both of us, we stayed there a while, finding a few more and taking photos.

It hung around for a little while, but after a few clicks of my camera, it finally flew away. I have to admit, I was very excited to see one.
