 Spanner set for midgets? 

Only 5cm long - I wonder what is was used for and how old it is

 Yesterday while I was moving the Amaryllis pots, a flower head accidentally broke off.

I stood it in a bowl with water, and this morning it was open and looking so beautiful.

The macro shots below reveal an abundance of pollen.

 I have never really looked at Amaryllis stamens before, and wonder why it only has two - two that look totally different. Could it be male and female?

This blue headed Tree Agama was sunning itself but scurried up the tree as soon as I approached.
I managed to zoom in on him and although he was mostly hiding, I managed a headshot.
I love the reflection in his eye of the bits of sky that is visible through the canopy of the tree.
