This photo would probably do very well in a "Guess What" game!!
When I look at it I see sugary, caramel, honeycomb, home-made,  yummy sweet stuff!

Actually..... while I decided to answer a few e-mails, I forgot that I had milk on the stove!
Fortunately it was on very low heat. Once I poured off the milk, this is what remained in the bottom of the pot.
Don't be fooled by looks - the dog would'nt even eat it!
(The milk was thick and creamy though & made a delicious mug of rich, frothy coffee)

Not a large Mosquito, but a Crane Fly. (Diptera)  The internet tells me that the 'handle bars' behind the wings are known as halteres. Halteres function as balancing gyroscopes, or so they say.
I think they are for fairies to hold on to ....

Another dig in the archives today - this photo was taken last Sunday
It is said that Mousebirds make very good pets. They are very amusing birds.
