The MacAlba

One of the dogs has an injured leg so instead of going for a jog this morning we went for a walk around the acres. Sitting a little less than a kilometre from the house is the “little dam”. Thanks to the recent rain it has some water in it at the moment so the dogs insist on their morning paddle. And there, not far from the dam’s edge was a small, solitary, terrestrial orchid - a Caladenia. The first one sighted this season - Spring is here.

I’ll have to pay it a visit with my macro lens this weekend and record the event for my photoblog (assuming that nothing’s eaten it by then of course).

Update: now photographed and published.
