Just a few of these small-flowered Black-tipped Greenhoods were in flower.

Hi denis, I love the sunset below, what a view you get from your deck. And how wonderful to know exactly where to go to find such lovely delicate orchids. I 'm trying to imagine you flat on your tummy taking photos like these?!! cheers, catmint
Hi Catmint
Imagine away, Madam. It is all real.
How else can one look a small Orchid in hte eye like that?
No mirrors in use.
.
The problem is getting vertical again, after taking the photos. Especially when in dense leaf-litter and weeds, where one cannot slide one's feet forward easily, to get a balancing position, from which to rise to a standing position.
Fortunately no Leeches today.
Cheers

Glad you liked the sunset too.
Fabulous Orchids... they would be so easy to miss!
Thanks Judi.
Yes, they certainly are. But I visit these areas regularly enough, to know what to look for, and where.
Practice makes perfect - they say.
It is always satisfying to find them, though.
An extra pair of eyes, in this case, Bruce, helps too.
Cheers
Denis
