I had a lovely time in the garden early this morning before the gardener arrived to mow the lawn.
We have a very 'mixed' lawn that was sprouting seeds in various forms. The colours of this one caught my eye.
The tiny little seeds were in beautiful shades of red - about half the size of what we know as Budgie seed.
The most amazing discovery was when a macro shot revealed the fact that the red shades were actually flowers!

My photo journal constantly reminds me of the wonderful Miracle of Creation!

Precariously positioned and waiting patiently to catch breakfast!    I do not think that the Crabspider had any intention to the beetle for itself.   It was probably hoping for something more palatable to come along and prey on the beetle- that's why it was just about lying in its back hiding behind the petals!  The dew was quite amazing this morning!

After church today we spent the afternoon the Game Reserve.  We saw Giraffe, Zebra, Impala, Rhino,
Warthog, Buffalo, Nyala, a Kudu bull and plenty of elephants. 
Behind this elly hides a Toyota Fortuner. Its passenger was doing what you are not supposed
to do in a game reserve. It made a very interesting photo though ...
(OK - I did do a fraction of manipulation to conceal a tiny bit of Toyota!!!)
