October 30 2023: Darling Range flora, “up close” (#14 in series, with musical bonus & Australian tour alert)

 

 

 

One of the nigh-infinite pleasures of walking in southwestern Australian forest/woodland/bush:

once “attuned”, you begin to notice that the “forest floor” – when viewed at or near ground level, up close – often looks like a multi-layered, uncommonly-colourful “forest”, in its own right.

Okonjima sunset (with “astounding” musical bonus)

This post’s musical bonus really is astounding, I think.

November 4 2022, at Okonjima, was one of the most rewarding days of our lives.

The immediately-preceding post’s leopard encounter was its most electrifying moment, but we also saw another leopard, giraffes galore, cheetahs, many other animals, and some beautiful country.

Circa 7 pm, we adjourned to a hilltop, to enjoy “sundowners”…and/or the actual sundown.

I took the featured photo at 7.06 pm.

The other images, below, are in chronological order.
