Bee good

Walking down the street - opposite my library - there are these native plants that are just overflowing with blossoms.  Bees are everywhere and I couldn't resist snapping a few photos.  If you think the little bee in the bottom photo is a tad strange it's because its a native bee ;-D

Reminds me to just stop and appreciate the small things ;-D

An unexpected visitor

I was cleaning up some of my photo files and came across this picture I took while visiting my family in early March this year.  Can't believe I forgot to show you some more of the wildlife around here ;-D

This huge snake skin was left on the ornamental Fountain Grass on the front porch.  Mum's neighbour, Mrs L, was not happy with our unexpected visitor (totally terrified actually), but I'm just sorry we missed seeing the large Carpet Snake in his shiney new skin.

Oh, and the skin was about 6ft when we stretched it out on the lawn ;-D
