Would your little daughter qualify as material as well. -O

And you got some kind of parakeet as a pet?

Mel, my family has to help all the time. They have to sit still, not blink or they have to spray coloured water in a bowl
We only have a dog, which doesn't like to be photograped, I tried several times to get her nose from the front, but I gave up!!! We went to a birds park nearby yesterday and I was lucky with a parrot.

Thanks Vanessa

It's SUMMER again!!!! Time to dust off the extension tubes and start my weekend morning and afternoon garden inspections, looking for creepy crawlies to photograph.

Occasionally the crawlies come to me, This Convolvulus Hawk-Moth was buzzing loudly in my house one evening.


This may be a Red-Veined Dropwing but I'm not sure.



A bee I was watching almost landed on this Flower Crab Spider (Thomisius sp.) - otherwise I wouldn't have seen it!


I went to get my 20mm extension tube so I could get in closer and when I returned it had caught a Sweat Bee



I also found a Carpenter Bee but I'm not certain that it's the regular Xylocopa caffra or one I haven't seen before.
