As you may have gathered, the "winter of our discontent" has almost turned to Spring. Last year I didn't have all my ducks in a line until the beginning of October, so we are going to places we previously found spring wildflowers to record them with my good gear.

Any fool, like me, can photograph orchids once those with superior knowledge have propagated them and offered them for sale at an Australian Plants Society sale. ;)
