Everyday Marvels




I spotted this colourful little fellow on a passionfruit late yesterday.




Our largest passionfruit really are larger than a tennis ball.







Covered in pollen, yesterday's caterpillar was enjoying nibbling on some passionfruit leaves today. 




Four new bromeliad flower spikes are beginning their adventure.




The largest tadpoles are beginning to turn into tiny frogs.




Loving my new macro lens! The closer I look, the more miraculous I find the everyday happenings in our garden. My eyes only see a tiny sliver of all which is continually unfolding, I marvel at God's creativity.

  22. From the first shot I was thinking I would ask if you've been using your new lens in these shots , which of course was answered by the end of your post. That is lovely you're getting so much enjoyment from it - as are we the viewers. Can't believe the size of those passionfruit!!
