It’s been a hot start to February here whilst some of you are freezing before the seasons start to turn! One morning this week saw very heavy fog as the overnight temperature got really quite cool (6C) before another hot day. At sunrise I was delighted to find many insects waiting for the warmth of the sun to get dry and moving – this tiny butterfly (wingspan of 2 cm) is called a common grass blue. I hope you enjoy, click in for a larger image. 🙂
Whilst I missed the festive postings as was so busy (grapevines don’t know it’s Christmas!), I realised that January 12th would be a year since I first started the blog. I would like to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to the people that follow the blog and to those that have taken the time to write comments and liked posts. I enjoy the blogging community and love reading others’ posts. A lot has changed in the past year – one of the biggest was shooting in RAW (I started in film) and look forward to another year of learning!
Here we are psyching up for a week long heat wave while others are freezing – stay safe!
Another couple of images from the zoo last week. This time in the Butterfly House. The texture of their wings reminds me of tapestry work (for which I would never have the patience)…
Melbourne Zoo has an amazing Butterfly House which was has been through a major restoration project in recent years making it more sustainable. It is heated to 28 degrees C all year round as all the species are native to tropical and subtropical Australia.
