On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow stagger...

WOW! @tigerbeth!! Those are GORGEOUS! I really have a soft spot for the small petite ones (rather than the big ones.) I think they used to be lumped into the name "Singapore Orchids'' as they have some stunning ones.
Thank you @"Annie C" - phalenopsis - I shall try to commit that to memory - but please don't ask me what it is tomorrow! ;)
Oh My Gosh .... I was on the water today in my kayak, fishing, and I think Xmas is going to be even more hectic than normal this year! :( There were People EVERYWHERE (mind you, it was a REALLY hot day today!!)
Some REALLY SILLY people too .... one dipstick in a tinny actually ran into me (slowly!) No damage - but he shouldn't have been on the water let alone in a boat with his wife & 2 kids - cos he didn't have a CLUE! He was 20ft away when I told him he was going to run aground - told him to stop & turn around but he kept coming at me! DUH!! I was 'anchored' in the shallows (1ft of water) and he ended up 'boat to kayak' (plastic to aluminium with no space between.) If I hadn't had my 'stakeout poles' in the sand - we both would have ended up against the lease fence! Then the boat slid along the side of my kayak & in front of me before finally starting the motor & motoring off ..... spooking every fish to kingdom come in the area that I had previously been fishing! F**KWIT! I can't WAIT for Xmas! NOT!
