This morning I spent quite a while chasing after a juvenile Hummingbird Moth with no success.
This butterfly must have felt sorry for me & perched on the flower right in front of me as if to say "Here - shoot me,  I'm prettier!"

This bird has always eluded my camera.  This morning I heard the distinctive whistle and am happy
 to have managed a shot at it.  I do not know what type of eagle it is, though. It is brown & fairly large - I have not been able to make out the colour of the beak and feet .  It has taken a neighbour's dog on a previous visit, and has swooped down on a friend's dog while she was right there in the garden herself!   Not shy....

Today it was rather windy and overcast here. Not much to photograph....
These are wild flowers we saw in the Game reserve yesterday.
