Big, bigger, biggest. 

Quite an obliging (unidentified) creature!!

It let me get closer and closer and then suddenly decided that I was 'pushing it', and took off

While trying to photograph a horde of little butterflies flitting around 

the flowering weeds in the overgrown backyard, 

I spotted fairies dancing around this little mushroom in the undergrowth.... 

By the time that I had crawled closer, been covered in blackjacks, attacked by a thousand hungry mosquitoes and finally got the subject into focus, the fairies were gone :)

Jokes aside - it really is a jungle out there! I was quite worried that I might be attacked by 

something much larger than a mosquito!

Today we were blessed with 34 mm of rain and more is forecast for tomorrow.

I love summer rain - bright and sunny weather one moment - overcast and thundering the next - 

and then the sound and smell of heavy rain  - it leaves me in awe of Creation.
