200th Photo!

This is the windsock for the helicopter pad from the ambulance bay at work, taken on one of my breaks on night shift. The camera was handheld as I didn't have my tripod with me.

Datura.

This is the inside of a "double" Datura flower looking from below. This entailed me lying on my back in the middle of my cousin's beautiful garden!

Warrens' Handiwork.

These elephants are made out of scrap corrugated iron by one of my talented work mates. He has a variety of other life size animals.

Unfortunately the day is overcast, so the colours on this cicada aren't particuarly vivid.

White Butterfly.

I'm not sure where or what this butterfly has been up to, but one of it's wings is a little ratty.
