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.
