Water Serpent
But… not. Although it seemed like it wanted to be.

This is an African Darter, doing its thing in the dam at Vredenheim last month.
Bigger on black here.
I have loads of photos to sort out and upload and no time to do them at the moment (football last night, dinner tonight, Agulhas tomorrow). So this one is being chucked onto Flickr as a quota photo and will be out of order when I actually get round to uploading everything else.
Eutricha capensis
Life quite literally gets dull for Eutricha capensis, the Cape Lappet Moth, once it’s done with being a caterpillar.
While the moth is a dreary brown, our garden was filled with big, hairy, orange caterpillars today:
This one was about 90mm long and was enjoying its last few days of being colourful and gay before its metamorphosis into something far more drab.
Wrecked
Physically exhausted, but here’s one of those photos I mentioned yesterday.

With it, came the realisation that I owe Flickr a lot of photos from the past couple of weeks. But right now, I can only think of bed.
Quota Sunset No. 4196
Breakfast on the beach, lunch in the local pub and then supper watching the sun go down at the shipwreck.
Truth be told, I’ve seen much better sunsets, but I didn’t miss the opportunity to pop a few long exposure photos off afterwards.
Those will have to wait to be uploaded and shared until I have an internet service which doesn’t rely on rubbing two sticks together and praying to Kwan, Almighty Lord of Connectivity.
Or “tomorrow”, as I like to call it.
Right, let’s get this post published then. Now, where did I put those twigs…?
