The forest takes me about 2 hours to explore if I take my time. Because of the long rains, it is now lush and thick with undergrowth and trees.

Last weekend, I saw an Owl Moth again in the forest. I adjusted the exposure and increased the black point. This enables more details to be seen.

Olive Thrush Large and plumage very wet. I shared this photo on another site to get the correct bird I.D, as it appeared to be much larger than the usual Olive Thrush. In response, I had varied opinions as to what it was, ranging from a Golden Weaver, to a wet Olive Thrush, to an illegal immigrant :}

Humanity in action 2 craftsmen at home today helping each other out to get the job done. The welder is sawing a rod and the other (wearing a Chelsea shirt) is holding onto it. We are building a steel footbridge over a passage way.

Keep em coming Phil, lovely shots.

Thanks Jim for the encouragement. I was cutting a hedge with a machete and didn’t have the heart to chop up the locust, so pulled the leaf off and put it to one side. The insect spent the rest of the day munching and sleeping on the leaf. This evening it had hopped off ...... hope your keeping well.

White Black Orange Monarch Butterfly, I used a monopod to get the shot - large with dramatic colours, did not stay around for very long because of the heat in the sun and neither did I ;)

Billbergia vittata Domingos Martins Bromeliad Quite a mouthful!
Grows in the garden because of the climate and flowers in the rainy season, likes partial shade. Apparently much sought after in the U.S.A ;) mature size 8"x16" (Photo not cropped or edited).
