      Lyk my somer het heeltemal van die planeet af gewyk, AJ, want hier by ons in Pretoria is dit bewolk en ysig en die eerste sneeu het al op die Drakensberg geval vroeer die week!

    Difficult to photograph and some are difficult to identify too! A lovely collection. Autumn is an especially good time to see butterflies where we are but most of them seem to be constantly on the wing!

    As ń klein dogterjie was dit die in ding om skoenlappers te vang, iets met hulle te doen sodat hulle doodgaan, en dan in ń uitstal houer te sit. Ek het dit gehaat, het glo snot en trane gehuil as ek die dooie skoenlappers so uitgestal sien. En tog, dit was fassinerend om ń mooie te jaag en te vang.
