Scribbly gums and a few orchids along Warrimoo Track, St Ives : January 14 2025

A steamy day forecast. Got in the car mid morning to walk a St Ives track hoping to find midge orchids. Had ideas to walk two tracks. It was hot and humid

A grand tree day it was turning out to be

New environmentally sensitive site signs at the start of Warrimoo Track - just one side

Back to the tree theme

Yellow flower day - hibbertia

Stopped at this tree for a photo - fits the theme

And around the other side of said tree is a snake orchid - cymbidium suave. No flower seeds - does not surprise me as the plant survived a hazard reduction burn last season. Good news is the plant looks good and there was one a little further down the trunk

More yellow - goodenia

Trail drops down to the creek - makes for good photo opportunities. Note the pebble dash they laid - makes it super slippery

Looking north to Turramurra side - this was a bonnet orchid site - none

Found flowering hyacinth orchid on the criss track that goes under the powerlines

Close ups - slender hyacinth orchid. Lesson here - make better effort in photos of the orchid of the day

View along the creek - an interesting mix of rainforest and dry forest

Across the creek and the powerlines.

Lobelia dentata cluster in the section burned last year. They come out after fire - at least 12 months ago and here they are

Cicadas were active - a few husk photos - little

And large. Can just see the spilt in the middle of the abdomen that the growing creature climbed out

Saw this flash of gold - a beetle carapace. Did flick it over - it is one of a pair makes the beetle quite big

Orb weaver spider. Normally they spin the meal into a web but this time it is just sucking the livelihood out - no weaving today

Decided not to do the 2nd walk. Was just too hot and sweaty. Headed home to cool down.

Couldn't do any of my own work - wife's son back early from work.

Dinner: Had to step in to cook dinner as the promised event did not happen. Chicken cashew stir fry done Chinese style

Trade action: a few adjustments on sold puts
