MELLOW YELLOW

 When I was walking in the forest last week the undergrowth had turned yellow. It looked very pretty but it was hard to capture on my phone.

The bushes in the undergrowth were blooming with yellow flowers. Some were like this with a touch of red and others were all yellow. They are a bush pea sometimes called egg and bacon. Their botanical name is Pultenaea daphnoides.
They lined the tracks and stretched as far as you could see but very hard to capture the scene on my phone.








It made our walk much more pretty than usual. However, it was quite painful for me as I have bursitis in my hip and it hurt going uphill. This has been going on for a few weeks so I went to the doctor who gave me a cortisone injection and the pain has subsided but I'm giving it a rest for a week and eating and getting fat instead.

CHILLING OUT IN THE FOREST

 I have been walking in the forest in between showers of rain by myself because we are at the peak of the Omicron wave so we have not been mixing with people very much. Hopefully, next week we will try walking with friends again.  It is so nice and green and calm in the forest. I love seeing the towering trees, the wallabies and the track disappearing into the forest.





I love the bright orange trunks of these trees, that are actually called grey gums or Eucalyptus Punctata.
They have a grey bark, which it sheds in summer to reveal the lovely orange colour.

We have had a very wet summer and the picnic area has turned bright green.

I love seeing different things each day. Here are some: Tiny fungi, fresh raindrops and glowing lichen.
