This is a sequel to yesterday’s post.
Meanwile, on the other side of the very same tree…and then over the road, into the adjoining park…
(Apology/explanation to subscribers. Your “new post” notifications should contain only the brief introductory text, plus a “more” prompt which delivers you to www.pelican-yoga.com. However, as of earlier this month, the riding instruction is being ignored, and you are getting an email which lacks the new post’s featured image, but otherwise contains that post’s entire content. This is one of several ways in which my site’s WordPress publishing has recently gone weirdly amok. To date, attempts to fix them have achieved nothing at all, other than to waste a lot of time. I hope to discover and implement a solution, soon! Meanwhile, when you receive an overly-full “new post notification” email, I suggest that you delete it immediately, and then proceed to www.pelican-yoga.com)
The featured image’s fungi were growing at the base of the tree, on its “lakeside” side.
In truth, the decline in southwestern Australia’s winter rainfall – and the consequent lowering of Perth’s water table – have rendered untrue the name of Perry Lakes Reserve.
For much of most years, this 21st century, a walker would not even get wet feet if he or she were to walk straight across the Reserve’s “lakes”.
There are plans to “solve” this problem, but they are yet to bear fruit.
Progress toward actual progress is, however, now underway, as detailed here.
Perry Lakes Reserve is still a pleasant place, which is immediately adjacent to he wilder, bushier and hillier Bold Park.
If you are equally fond of southwestern Australian Winter and Spring, right now is a particularly good time to walk in both places.
The Winter abundance of fungal fruiting bodies has not yet ended, but Spring’s floral explosion is already underway, most especially on the seaward side of Bold Park.
This pair were 2020’s “first” spider orchids…for us, at least.
