Bloores Wharf Is part of Riverside Country Park and is an old industrial site. It looks like there were six or seven warehouses at one time. This is the first time I have been to this area of the park and as it juts out into the river it is a good place to see the birds.
I must say that I got carried away because when I got home I found that I had taken 196 pictures.I have never taken that many before. I shall divide this up in to three, so that you get a good idea of what is their. This one will be Flora but I have had trouble identifying some of the plants. Never mind they look nice.

Before I start I went down to our observatory with seven others last night and had one of the clearest skies that we had for a long while. After setting up our 14" it was set on
M13 (Hercules Globular Cluster). It was not quite like this but near.

| Globular star Cluster 25 light years away |
We moved on to M57 The ringed nebula a planetary nebula

| Ringed nebula 2300 light years on our door step |
I won't go on, so back to the Flora

| Blackberry |
 |
| Old man's beard |
 |
| Yellow Horned-poppy |
 |
| Daisy |
 |
| Medla |
 |
| Rose Hip |
I have added this one after publishing
 |
| One frightened Starling |
He took off like grease lighting
Part two will be birds in flight tomorrow.
Enjoy
Plenty there, looks interesting, let's hope the plant people of the world pop up and tell you what the flora is.

Thanks Chris
ReplyDeleteI wish we could see them like that but we can't. M 13 was close but you to this one but M57 you need and Astro-camera and lots of time. I have a friend who does take this one like this and he may let me use it
Well done Trev, I see the ghost is good at frightening Starlings he he
