It was a long drive to this site, it was hot
and there was little shade for us. We started looking and soon found
a Courunastylis in flower, not this particular one but worth photographing
anyway. Changing positions I dropped my camera, the strap was too
long and the lens hit the ground. It bent! After examining the
damage we both had a go at realigning the lens barrel. It would not
budge! Finally one last attempt and click it went back in - and yes
it was seated properly and all seemed to be working again. Pure joy!
We kept looking and finally found this orchid (making 3 for the day). They were in part shade in and open area surrounded by small shrubs on sandy ground. Fairly harsh conditions overall. Photographed in the Otways area. |
