Alfie.

 This is the trouble maker of the two kittens, here he's waiting to pounce on Boyd. 

Caterpillar Transformation.

 I was blown away watching the caterpillar to chrysalis stage.
 Nature is such a wonderful thing!

 It took about a minute to get to this stage from the hanging caterpillar.

 I had to use the flash for this photo and the next one as the plant was in shadow, and the wind was gusting..... again!

 The blurry black bit on the leaf below the chrysalis, is the tail end of the caterpillar, I guess there was no room for it.

 The finished product, tidy aye?

Up Close....

Boyd decided the top of the water tank was a lot safer than climbing on to the garage roof........ he had to be rescued.......

Miniature Fuchsia.

 So nice to be able to capture rain drops, for a change we had NO wind....... didn't last long though :(

Take Off.

 If you click to enlarge the photo, you will see the lovely wing patterns.
 

Feijoa Flower.

 This is one of the many feijoa flowers on our tree, shame I don't like the taste or texture.
