My goodnes, we had a bit of sun. The garden is starting to burst into colour and FINALLY, 6 months into the darn year, some sign of life :)

FINALLY I get some decent shots of a Ruby tailed wasp. It even landed on me for a brief moment. On my chest though so a shot was impossible.

    Ian,

    A nice set.

    Yes, things are happening down south too. We had an invasion of hundreds of freshly-emerged blue damselflies yesterday.
