| We haven't had much summer here this year, in fact we have had quite a bit of rain. So with the moisture and the heat, we headed to Mt Field to look for fungi to photograph. Not only did we find fungi (which I will spare you, this time), we found lots of other beautiful things. Above is a native orchid, a Chiloglottis. |
 |
| Lovely mosses. |
 |
| and verdant ferns sparkling with jewels of water. |
 |
| Water droplets caught in a spider web. |
 |
| The very pretty Russell Falls |
 |
| The top of the falls, where the water runs over the edge. |
 |
| Horseshoe Falls |
 |
| I love this green, lush nature. |
 |
| Looks like you'd expect to see a dinosaur appear. |
 |
| We were very lucky to see the usually shy, platypus. He/she played (fed) for about 15 minutes allowing us to get some wonderful shots. |
 |
| Beautiful new growth on the Fagus that changes in Autumn, turning the forests into shades of yellow, orange and red. |
 |
| Dianella Tasmanica |
 |
| The red of the waratah (Telopea truncata) which were blooming on the road to Lake Dobson by the dozen. |
 |
| The famous Leatherwood (which gives our honey the most distinctive flavour) |
 |
| The rare Richea dracophylla which only grows naturally, in a handful of places in the world |
 |
| Another orchid (Caladenia vulgaris) |
 |
| The snow line |
 |
| an abandoned rail line at Westerway |
 |
| and a pretty rainbow to snap on the way home. |
