We had a long day and it was drawing to a close, but there was one location to check on the way home.  Unfortunately we weren't exactly sure where the place was, just a location name.  We found the town, but where was the reserve?  We drove on hopefully.  A sign flashed by - was that it? Yes it was.  We turned around and parked the car.  Where to search?  We jumped the fence and almost immediately found one, but it was quite passed its prime.  Soon a good example was found and success was at hand.  Isn't it great having daylight savings, it may fade curtains quicker but there's more time for important things like orchid photography.
