It is impossible to capture the total beauty of the current view from my back door, 
(or the smell of the Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow seen along the bottom edge of the photo!)
While standing there after I had taken this photo, I realised that the flowers were not all there is to see...
Look for the white stars on the photo then scroll down!
My first discovery was a Brown Hooded Kingfisher sitting pretty just over the top the Y,T &T plant ...
 ... and then a little Laughing Dove nesting slightly higher, sleepily waiting for her eggs to hatch!
It just goes to show that there is always more to see if you take the time to have a good look!

This afternoon I found this Crab Spider on the shrub that grows below the Yellow Lantana bush.
It was clearly making its way up to where it will blend in perfectly with the surroundings.
I will try and find it on the yellow Lantana flowers over the weekend :)

The yellow Lantana has recovered well after the drought and is in full bloom again.
We had quite a severe thunderstorm last night with 15mm of rain.
This morning the garden looked so clean and fresh.
