7pm to 8pm - Colours!







A quiet wander around the garden this evening and I spotted these little moths having an evening meal.







Check out the eye-lash-like antennae on this one!




Over the bridge and back to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Lots of swallows flying around in the cooler evening air following a very hot summer's day. It was refreshing to end the daylight hours with some wonderful bright colours.

    I'm thinking that the insects and small creatures in your garden are fond of your camera - it's almost like one of them has a clipboard with a booking sheet and they're all scheduling in a time amongst each other for when they're going to be on show incase that nice human comes out with her camera. Your photos of them are always so marvellously clear. Really love your first one. And don't get me started on your sunset photo - you're right, such vibrant colours & really like the movement with the swallows.

    it is most definitely not even light out here between 7 and 8 pm this time of year, so it makes sense that you must be on the other side of the globe! thank you for showing off your shot!
