In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.

PS- Is that a cherry or plum blossom in there amongst the mix?

My father and step mother basically spent the last 20 years of their lives planting gardens.

Not sure Craig, some funny orchids that were given to my wife by a colleague at work. It wasn't until I was reviewing some macro shots that I realized what they looked like - something from an early Disney animation (Fantasia?). Pretty cool tho.

Just checked, called a Reed orchid., also known as a crucifix or five star orchid. Apparently a roadside weed in Central America! :)

My wife and I are loving looking at the plants blooming everywhere as we go on our local walks (I may have cracked 500 kms since latest lockdown began, maybe less, maybe much more)

That’s an amazing orchid blockers. Believe it or not, a really interesting article on orchids in the latest ‘The Monthly’. Would link to it but what’s the point if you’re not a subscriber.

Getting older and retired (or semi-retired, haven’t decided yet) and having time to look at the world around you, it’s pretty damned good.

Neil Luke, thats a name i havent heard for a while, i think he lives in South America now and had been living up Byron/Lennox way for maybe ten years prior to that.

I always liked him though, i use to surf with him a lot as a grommet, he was always really encouraging calling me into waves and would give you a bit of praise if you got a good wave, drop, turn etc.

Here Guy, this is for you. First day at the beach today. On the way home and someone is sleeeeepy.

He's really come out of his shell and is turning out to be a great dog. He's a little naughty but overall a great companion. Gets on well with our other old girl and the cats are all good with him. One big happy family.

Also Guy, it was you who planted the seed for me to get a Lab, so thankyou.

Ps- not a big fan of him slobbering over my leather seats but what can you do?

Adopted this ex border force lab at 14 months old early this year. Zeemo is an absolute cracker and has been a huge help with mental health through the victorian lockdowns. Would have found it a lot more difficult without my best mate.
