On Wednesday 4 January, the Food Lady smuggled us into the
Silvermine Reserve (still sans dog permit because she hasn't managed to get photos for our special cards yet although she and the
Alph have an expensive
Wildcard that they were told would be fine for dogs too!). We (us, the
Alph and Nicola) met up with Robbie, Jenny and Belle for a lovely walk down the river.
A hairy caterpillar on an
Erepsia anceps flower - even hairier than a
Scotty.
Some Red
Crassulas (
Crassula coccinea ) were already starting to flower. They are also pollinated by the Mountain Beauty butterfly.
Tea in the cool breeze. It certainly
wasn't a burning hot day, but we were looking forward to a swim in the dam.
On the road down to the dam, the FL noticed some plants that have made themselves at home here - the ubiquitous
dandelion and some Hare's Tail (
Lagurus ovatus) grass from the Mediterranean.
There was lots of activity down at the dam - a great way to finish a walk. Next time we come, I hope we will be legal.
