Summer Photo Display!
About 13 photos here to show you some real beauties.
I have to post early as expecting loadshedding a bit later. The term loadshedding was coined for a total electricity shutdown due to lack of capacity to keep the lights on. And so the nation shall continue to suffer and I don't want to go into the well known reasons why this is so.
Instead, let me show you some treasures!
Note: Photo descriptions are below each photo.
Who needs lights and electricity if the African sun is as sharp as this?
Our first sight of the "Common Dotted Border" butterfly this summer. (I think this is what it is called)
Here he is again and I was delighted to see this early this morning!
At the top of a tree in bright morning sun!
And this is from a different end!
The famous Carpenter Bee also came to say good morning!
This drag decided to come and show me his beautiful colors!
Ever seen a dragonfly sitting on a model windmill?
If you can't see him, here he is!
Here's another one on a plant leaf!
The sun's glow was so great to see as he was sitting on our roof!
Finally, our little Troy came to call me for breakfast!
To spend an early morning in our garden is one of the best times that I can possibly have. One of the tenants is moving out of the complex and she gave us a lot of plants. Another tenant gave us four steel and wire garden chairs that I will restore and paint an avocado green color to blend in with the garden. Soon I will also build a little gazebo in the garden to fend off the naked sun. So, onward we go here in the new paradise.
Note: All photos and words are my own and photos are unedited and only cropped for uploading purposes.
We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for the visit to a post by @papilloncharity

These are really gorgeous captures, reminds me sunny bright summer...
Thank you and that is my idea with the summer posts my dear friend.
To remind all in winter that their summer is on the way after a while.
Blessings!
Such beautiful pictures, especially the ones of the Common Dotted Border butterfly.
Thank you and we are so glad that the more colorful butterflies are now starting to appear, as it is early summer here in South Africa now.
Yesterday I also had a fleeting sight of a Monarch butterfly flying past and I hope to get him on camera sooner or later.
Blessings and thank you once again for your support to our charity blog.
What a great photography man! Love your action with nature.
Thank you my friend and thank you also for the kind curation.
As you can see, I love nature.
In fact, I want to ask @theyeti to also open a #nature channel on Inter Blocks.
Blessings and a good Friday to you!

I couldn't image having those loadsheddings but with it being summer your days must be pretty long there now so you don't have to worry about light!
And such beautiful light captured in the photos highlighting those wonderful creatures - up close and magnificent!
Troy has such a sweet face - great companion!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you my dear friend.
No, we certainly don't worry about the light and we cope with the conditions, but it plays havoc with our communication systems, as the signal towers are also knocked out.
This morning it's from 10am to 12 noon.
Glad that you liked the photos.
Blessings!
