Another sign of spring.

Butterflies are a sure sign that spring is sprung. This one came this morning to sip nectar from tiny flowers growing in a container on my veranda.

Proboscis dipped deep into the heart of the flower.

I was so hoping it would open it's wings so I could get a shot of it's beautifully pattern'd wings.

Birds & butterflies.

Saturday morning and the dogs and I went for a walk, took the camera just in case.

Last of the summers survivors, wings starting to look worse for the wear.

Will have to buy a book on SA butterflies so I can identify them.

These are tiny flowers but the obviously have enough nectar to satisfy this butterfly.

Cape sparrow, the seeds on this dried out bush were this birds breakfast.
