It is still raining here, so I opted for a photo on the front porch.
The African Violet is always in bloom - the little flowers are so delicate and textured

Rain, rain and more rain.
Crab Spiders are magnificent creatures - the middle set of eyes could just as well have been nostrils!

Hats off to Nifty (my Canon SX130is) for this photo!
It was a cold and cloudy day with very little photo opportunities.
Hoping 
for a bird to perch on the Guava branches in the foreground,
 
I set up the camera on the porch and waited....
This Lilac Breasted Roller appeared and seemed to have a lot to say to the floodlights on the other end of the tennis courts below my house. While it circled and investigated every nook and cranny,
it gave me the opportunity to zoom in and for a few shots.
A pity about the Guava branches in the foreground - but it somehow 
gives a lot of depth to the photo.
I just love the splash of colour in the distance!
