Fairy Princess 92 / 365
We have our own little fairy princess that grants wishes with the touch of a heliconia flower?! Today Amelia was flowergirl for her one of her mummy's best friends. I had the honour of making her little outfit.

Orange Bush-Brown Butterfly (Mycalesis terminus) 93 / 365
I thought this was a moth. It's smaller than a regular butterfly. I have been trying to catch one of these with it's wings open. They are a really pretty orange but the pattern on the outside is gorgeous too. She's sitting on a Dianella leaf.

Orange Bush-Brown Part II 94 / 365
I made an effort to catch yesterday's butterfly with it's wings open to show the pretty detail and colour. They seem to be everywhere in my garden at the moment.

Hibiscus Starburst 95 / 365
My pink hibiscus looking very... pink :)

Diamonds in the Rough 96 / 365
Silver Orb Spider - Leucauge granulata (L. dromedaria). Also known as Silver Camel Spider. They are quite pretty spiders but the glistening web won out on this day.

Crumpet anyone? 97 / 365
This is a filler. I'm in Brisbane at Chel's house.
I thought the texture was a bit similar to a crumpet? Mmmm... you could be right, nothin' like a crumpet :)

Wheeee! 98 / 365
Meels was having lots of fun on the swing today.

March 26 - April 1 of 365

Meelsy Moo 85 / 365
The little Meels and her mummy @chel are visiting for a week. This is in the car after the two hour flight, quick visit to see great-grandma, back in the car for the hour and half drive home. The glistening of her eyes shows that she had just about had enough for one day thank you.
I must add that this is her first taste of Macca's fries!

Dripping Tap 86 / 365
This is a shot that so many people have done really well and I wanted to try. I need more practice but it was really hard to freeze those drops and get the flowers refracted clearly. Getting the tap to drip slowly is also hard.

Amelia 87 / 365
I have to make the most of having little Meels around for a week, so here she is again :)

Not chives again! 88 / 365
Yes, I'm sorry. It rained most of the day and I noticed the drops on the chives... so that's it for today. You can see some refraction in a few of them.

Rock Pool 89 / 365
We've been in Townsville for a couple of days but I actually took this one a few days earlier. We had lunch at the restaurant at the Rock Pool on the Strand. This was the view from our table, pretty nice!

Water Park 90 / 365
We went to the water park on the Strand in Townsville today. It was overcast so not too hot. Amelia loved it!

Golden Bowl 91 / 365
This bowl was a gift, it has beautiful golden tones that the candle light reflected on.

March 19 - 25 of 365

Frangi 78 / 365
This is a filler for yesterday. We had a lovely day with the rellies!

Butterfly on hibiscus 79 / 365
I thought it was pretty neat that this lady obligingly landed on a red hibiscus for me.

Come on then! 80 / 365
The roos come up to our back fence and some are so used to people that they don't jump away unless we get quite close. They always like to sit on the rocks for a bit of extra height.

The grass is always greener 81 / 365
I kinda liked the line of the grass across the shot. The droplet on the left has a nice sky reflection although a bit hard to see. And the little sunflare took my eye also but it's probably a bit too monotone?
I was flat on my belly for this, that must count for some kind of exercise?

Chives Part IV 82 / 365
This is the last of the chives story.

Blowin' in the wind 83 / 365
This looks better magnified I think?

Nature's parasol 84 / 365
Can you just imagine a butterfly using one of these? A beetle or caterpillar?
