Rainbow Bee-Eater. A fairly heavy crop..

A new bullet pen I just designed and made. It uses a rollerball refill, and has a screw-on cap. And a stainless steel clip.

Lynx Spiders

Cicada Nymph ? Leafhopper ?

Sitting at the computer, I have my back to a glass door that looks out into the garden, the other day I was sitting here and heard a bit of a commotion. Turned around and saw this, a young female Rock Wallaby, and a lizard about 2 feet long.

Went for another garden walk this morning. I only had time to process one photo, the rest will have to wait, I have a few acres of grass to mow before it gets too hot.

Tiny flowers... Moss...

Guarding the nest....

Been a while since I put the macro lens on the camera......so..... Ants picnic...

New spraytank for towing behind the mower, it holds 100 litres/ 42 gallons. Just finished wiring up a switch on the dash and a relay to supply power through the outlet on the rear of the mower.

Mostly finished. Just a couple of tweaks still to do on the clip.

Progressed to this stage at the end of the afternoon.

A new fountain pen in progress. Starting with a piece of Musk from Tasmania, and some green acrylic. Still to do, make the section to hold the nib, and turn the cap, and make a clip.

Flame Lily ( Gloriosa Superba ) , national flower of Zimbabwe, I was told of this by @Lawrence . They are growing well in my garden this year. They seem to die off in the winter months, but come back with a vengeance once it starts raining.

Birds on the power wire beside my house. Rainbow Bee-eater... Sacred Kingfisher...
