Every year the late summer monsoon season brings a large number of Lubbers to roadways, trails, yards, etc. They can often be found climbing just about every plant in an area. The Plains Lubber (Brachystola magna) is among the more colorful of the various species and tends to have a nice blue hue to the top of it. Here is a large individual seen along the Mexico-Arizona border recently!

Great Dixter gardens macro bliss :)

I recently visited Great Dixter gardens and it was the first time in months that I've been out and about for pleasure.

The gardens didn't disappoint ! It is well worth a visit.

Don't ask me how long I've had these little things in the fridge. It's probably 2 or 3 years. We don't usually enjoy garlic, however for a while I was subscribing to a meal kit delivery service and they included garlic in the kits. I ended up with quite a bit of it, however these few are the last ones left - I wonder if I ever will use them?

The theme is CHIP, they said.

My mind immediately thought "potato chip" however that seemed too obvious so I thought more widely. Computer chip also seemed a bit obvious, however my husband had these little gems with 'legs' to create shadows, so I jazzed them up with red and blue lights. That was fun.

All my own work - coloured inks on genuine watercolour paper, using a little fan brush.

I've done a lot of this art, using coloured inks, with great results (which are hanging on our walls) so it's been fun to do this special little tiny delight.

In the heart of Namibia’s arid landscapes, this remarkable desert chameleon blends seamlessly with its rocky surroundings. Adapted to harsh conditions, it showcases the wonders of evolution and survival in Africa’s extreme environments. Its textured skin and intense gaze tell a story of resilience and the incredible biodiversity found in Namibia.
