Paradise Fly Catcher
My friend Pat and I have been trying to get a photo of this bird for weeks!
It is a rather flighty little chap and always seems to be partly obscured when perched.
Today it settled briefly in the umKhuhlu tree at the end of my garden - 
I only had time for one shot.
Zoomed to the max, with the focus on the bird not as good as what I would have liked it,
but a pretty picture nonetheless.  It feels like a trophy - can't wait to show Pat!

Make hay while the sun shines!
We had a slightly drier day today - 
for the first time this week!
It is said that due to La Nina, we can expect a very wet holiday season ...

The African Violet is always in bloom - the little flowers are so delicate and textured
