No photos today because we have been at the hospital in Newcastle for David's appointment. All looking good and he is able to drive again.
I took a series of photos while on the walk with our walking group last Thursday. Here is a selection of wildflowers and tree bark I put together in a collage.
As I am not very good at identifying flowers I can't tell you what the majority of these are, but I do know the top left one is a flannel flower and there were hundreds of them in the bushland.
I believe the bottom left flower is commonly called egg and bacon. No idea why, but one of our walkers said that was its name.
beautiful collage Babs. I love Flannel Flowers and yes we call them Eggs and Bacon too because of the yellow "yolk" and the brown "bacon". So glad David has the all clear at last
A pretty collage with a lovely arrangement and variety of flowers. Good news regarding David. Maybe all the hospital appointments will start to calm down soon?
So glad to hear all is well with David. He must feel great to be able to drive again. Nice collage too. I guess the yellow color is supposed to be like the yellow of the egg yolk and maybe the red, the meaty part of the bacon? Seems like a funny name for a flower that looks like an orchid!
glad David is better - I bought a little handbook recently that identifies flora and fauna from Newcastle to Nowra and out over the mountains to Lithgow - I shall practice identifying on your collages :)
@julzmaioro Thanks Julia. Somebody on our walk said the egg and bacon flower was a member of the pea family and I suppose the top right does have a similar shape.
@cruiser@gilbertwood@nicolecampbell@helenhall@littleconnie@chimfa@happypat@olivetreeann@annied Thanks. As you know I am not good at identifying flowers. I think I need a handbook like you have Annie.
David is relieved that he is able to drive again. It has been a long 6 weeks for him. He still isn't able to drive long distances or go in an aircraft until his blood thinners meds are finished and he has another ultrasound for the DVT, but at least he is mobile on his own again.
Glad to hear David has been given the all clear to drive again. Good news.
