One of many flower beds at Floriade, Canberra. The taller blooms (tulips?) have various ground cover flowers below them, in similar or contrasting colours.

Canberra. Friday I did Floriade. It’s not just flowers, but that’s the part I’m most interested in. The queue for the ferris wheel wasn’t long, so I rode it. Worth the $12 for the view - in all directions.

Misread caption of the day (on a post from the Broome Bird Observatory): Double Barrelled Finches. It was, of course, Double Barred Finches. Now I’m wondering what my version might look like.

Today we drove to the site of a proposed storage battery project south of the solar farm. 18km from the house by road; 14km in a straight line. After driving along the river, we followed the earthen dam wall nearly to its end before turning onto the road to the site near the transmission lines.

Several apartment complexes march up this hill above Airlie Beach. Our former home (sold three years ago) is among them. The camera angle does not show how high the hill behind actually is.
