May 2009

A couple of weeks ago we had a storm and the air turned yellow.

Looking out from the balcony at the burnt side of the block the bush went a rusty orange colour.

There's no 'photoshopping' here!

We discovered our first Bunny Orchid last week. They are tiny and stand only twelve inches high. there must have been hundreds previous years but were in amongst the bush. The fire has left the ground black and bare and we can see these sweet little blooms popping up everywhere. Glenn found this little fellow under a drum the other day.
Don't worry, he put him back where he found him after the photo shoot.
Woody found him VERY interesting!



Talking of Woody... took a snap the other day just before he left to go to the gym.
There is a definite likeness, don't you think?

Hullo Helen

It was really nice to meet up with you when we were with Sue.

As to our 50th Wedding anniversary - the secret? Tolerance, affection, friendship and mutual respect, I guess. (plus hard work working on it at times!)

I was about to comment that you spoil that dog something rotten - then I saw his mat!

Nice to see the orchid a-bloom. If you had not had the fire you would not have seen them.
