Spring rain

October 3, 2021

We’ve had 25 ml (or one inch) of rain in 4 days. For where I live this is wet! We don’t usually have such fluffy clouds. The rain knocked all the blossom off this poor plant before the bees could finish their work.

This plant has never looked so white and pretty. But they’re the wrong flowers for this potplant!

Azure Kingfisher

October 1, 2021

This little visitor stayed around for a few day. He was by the roadside at a water inlet. It was exciting to see him each time I drove past. He did keep his distance, making it difficult to take photos. He stayed on ‘the other side’ of a little pool so I couldn’t sneak up on him. Then, he disappeared.

Ibis

September 30, 2021

I went out in search of a reported swan with her babies, on a cold and miserable afternoon. I couldn’t find the swan but there were plenty of ibis. I’m not pleased with my hurried snaps, so I’ll go again. They were beautiful.
