A selection of some beauties!
Here we have a singing Malachite Sunbird on a new Pincushion flower head!
A happy Sunday to all, or what's left of it to our supporters in the Southern Hemisphere. I decided to break away from long introductions (unless necessary) and rambling writings, as not many read them anyhow.
Here's a selection of my pictures taken today!
Of course pride of place with two photos goes to the magnificent Malachite in a singing mode. May I say here that it is difficult to catch him in this mode, as he only opens his mouth for a second or two!
A Blue Swallow collecting mud in the farm road to build their nest!
And here you can see the couple of swallows hard at work!
Finally a rose for all the ladies that help us so many times here on steemit!
The water in our cottage stopped flowing and I had to pop out to the pump at the borehole, to restart the water pump. The journey took about 20 minutes and of course I took my old friend (camera) with. It was late afternoon and here you can see some of the shots that I took on my way.
We hope you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting @papilloncharity.

@machv Thank you and I have to concede that its a difficult. Timing of the shots are the most essential. The waiting is easy, as fortunately have a patient habit. Blessings to you my friend!
Wow, what great shots! You got such amazing detail on these little friends! :)
@lilyraabe Thank you! Nature wants to share her secrets with all of us Lady Lily. All that she asks is for us to become a part of her, as it is then that she adopts us and shares her treasures with us. Blessings!

Gorgeous timing on the second photo, all beautiful again a joy to share the sights you find on the farm.

Thank you Lady Joan. I knew that he would turn at some stage and I only prayed that he would continue to sing, as I have many shots of him, but with his mouth closed. This day was my day to get him at last!
May your week also be a great one! Blessings!
