This baby Praying Mantis somehow reminded me of our new puppy -
Perhaps because it had the attitude of a Mini Schnauzer.

Dedicated to Douglas. 
I am delighted that you enjoy my photos!
You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. May each day bring improved health.
The yellow Lantana is on top form after the rain we had this week.
This Painted Lady is the first Butterfly I have photographed this season
...note to self: get a book on Butterflies - this might not be a Painted Lady!  ;-)
Fortunately I have a fwend called 'Madame Butterfly' who will confirm the identity....

Woolly-necked Stork
We took a quick drive to the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve this afternoon.
Although the rain had stopped, the weather had not cleared.
It was hot and humid with very moody skies.
This 
Woolly-necked Stork was drying its wings after a swim in a ditch next to the road.The photo shows clearly how very green the Park is at present.
It was a short visit - we returned home due to heavy clouds and distant thunder
