Patient Butterfly 64 / 365
I visited my husband's construction site right next to our house and this butterfly was caught inside. I collected a flower for her to sit on and she was so happy that she just stayed there while I took lots of photos and then flew away.
Thanks to Robin for identifying her as Polyura sempronius or the Tailed Emperor

Last one in the water is a rotten egg! 65 / 365
We went out to Pallarenda beach and found that Cyclone Yasi just about finished off the very old and rotting swimming enclosure. There was still one little girl walking along the top rail and these 3 seagulls making use of the piece that is still standing.

Golden Dragonfly 66 / 365
It has rained nearly all day in Townsville today so this is a photo I took last week. Normally dragonflies and butterflies don't sit still for me. This little dragonfly repeatedly came back to this group of plants long enough for me to get a decent shot.

Chloe 67 / 365
My son's cat Chloe

Think Pink 68 / 365
A waterlily in my pond (again).

Busy Bee 69 / 365
This little native bee was very busy collecting pollen from my spider lily (Hymenocallis caribaea). There used to be a hive in a hollow in our Tamarind tree. The hive is long gone so I was glad to see they are still hanging out in my garden. They are tiny little things about half the size of a normal bee and they are stingless which makes them even more attractive.

Raindrops on Roses... 70 / 365
...well on rose petals anyway.
I'm still trying to perfect the droplet refraction shot. I think it's amazing how the droplets just hang there.
