Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge January Alphabet: The Letter V Anywhere in the Word
Jump in and let’s get going
We can look at some leaves
Find an Ivory Curl flower with a bee inside
Beautiful Violas – just one
or we can see a bunch
We will have to look hard to find a couple of Stingless Native Bees hard at work in the Clivia flowers
The Zinnia flower attracts a Hover Fly just over there
I wonder where that Weevil is going don’t you?
Back outside, let’s go to the bird bath where we can see an Olive-backed Oriel
Over there, a Bar-shouldered Dove on the fence post
and up there, a Peaceful Dove is sitting on that branch
It looks like a Varied Sittella is nearby as well
Make sure you look lower among the bushes as that’s where you can find a Variegated Fairy Wren
and nearby an Emerald Dove enjoys a bit of sunshine
Thanks for joining me in my tour around, I hope you can feel the love
Great shots.

i love your V images, especially the VW camper. We had one for a number of years when our girls were little, so very useful. Back then my husband’s job took use to a different coastal town each summer. We rented a house each summer but the Camper was great great for our days out and touring the areas, especially when we had our babies and toddlers with us.🙂

I LOVE your hover fly shot – such vivid colours, and sharpness (I’m sure that’s not the right term but I’m not very technical!); amazing that you were able to capture it! Those love-ly cows are just adorable too 🙂

Thanks Emma. I would say it was knowing your subject and having the patience to set everything in place which is probably 70% and the other 30% dumb luck as a lot of insects spend time drinking from flowers.
I love how the bull was licking the cows face and head that day 🙂 🙂
