This shot is courtesy of my darling husband and I thought I'd post it just to show what happened only a moment after I'd taken the shot I posted just previously ;D So all credit should go to him together with all my love and a big "I'm so very proud of you!!!"

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

Bugs was so intent on what he was interested in, it was easy for me to get in close to get this shot. His focus did not waver an iota.

At the moment, my job is preventing me from experiencing spring migration, so here's a shot of a Palm Warbler that I took at this same time last year.

With the temperature starting to rise (15-17°C (59-63°F), the Spring Flowers starting to bloom and some rain (about 18mm or 3/4 inch) over the past 10 days we are starting to see some insect life in the garden.
