Munmorah visit for wild flowers - Part One

 Pathway alongside carpark leads to bush-walk in one direction, and sand-dunes to the ocean, on the other.

It had been apparent on the drive closer to Lake Munmorah National Park that some early Spring bush-fire hazard prevention was happening in the region  i.e. 'back-burning'.  A light haze of smoke drifted in the air, and made the horizon blurred.

Purpose of this afternoon's outing was to see what might be flowering in the natural bushland.  There were some sweet little surprises to be found.

  8. Carole,

    I love the wildflower tour and that seed pod is enormous! What a beautiful country you live in!!!

    Thanks for visiting today. Lucky you with spring just arriving. I miss the gardening season so much when autumn and winter hit. That's why I love blogs like yours so I can still enjoy the beauty of nature and gardens, albeit vicariously.

    Have a terrific day!

    PS I hope you will post photos of your hydrangeas.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
