Orange Star
When I got home from my afternoon drive out of the city (straight after a morning's walk in Fish Creek Park), I took three quick shots of this beautiful houseplant (bought for one reason only, to take photos of it, LOL). I keep meaning to check the little tag that came with it - but I think it's called Orange Star.
Spent about three hours this afternoon, driving the backroads south east and south west of the city, to try out a small GPS unit that I bought yesterday - bought in desperation, hoping to give myself a little more confidence despite my driving phobia that I have been battling for more than 30 years. Plus I have next to no sense of direction. The GPS was pretty good - I only got lost briefly once. The thing that complicates things is that some of the backroads have two numbers (street number as well as Range Road number, I think). At least the unit shows me just where I am at any given time, which is a huge concern of mine, LOL! Had to laugh - I had set the voice on British English (I grew up in England), but soon changed it to American English, after the woman with the first accent completely mispronounced one of the city's main roads! And wildlife? WHAT wildlife??? And it was SO windy, I could barely hold my camera.
Didn't get round to backing up more of my photos on an external drive last night (partly 'cos I had Migraine, which thankfully I rarely get any more), but, if I'm wise, I will try and get some done this evening, as my computer is still making a very strange (and worrying) clicking sound, which seems to be getting worse. If I suddenly disappear from Flickr for a few days, you'll know why, LOL!
