on Barrenjoey Headland

I was trying to get a decent photograph of this tea-tree. So far, using Rachel's camera produces better photos than I can using my fancy Nikon SLR....

Now, in summer, the riot of flowering heath of late winter has gone, but there were still some lone flannel flowers and native fuchsia. I was chasing this tea-tree, but the rain kept on coming down, so I had to put my camera away and come away..

Walk

I had to go for a walk. Men came today to pick up the spare fridge. In the end they didn't take it. Theoretically, it was part of a 'fridge buy-back' scheme. But they wanted $200 to take it. I had waited all day and felt quite sick and miserable about it all. So I went for the walk.

I do love the silver of casuarinas and tea-trees. And for some reason the isopogons are so green. Very beautiful.
