Orange blossom



 When you try to  make photos of all the flowers in your garden and you find later that there are 3 bugs on the flower... a green spider just caught it's meal for the week.

Woolly bear caterpillar







The woolly bear caterpillar is a greedy eater, and therefore a big pooper too! On the last photo you see one in the act of pooping huge green dumps opening up its abdomen. 
There are many in my garden at the moment, eating away on my leafy veggies as well as this succulents. 
They turn into the black and white tiger moth.

Fish bones in the river




 I was walking on the Claremont Jetty and just a few meters from shore along the jetty my eye fell on this bunch of fish bones in the clear water of the Swan river. Was it a meal for some water animal or was it fishermen dumping their catch?

Red flowers on brances




 I came across this interesting specimen during my dog walk this morning in Claremont. The red flowers are all positioned on the branch and here and there is an old seed pod. It was more a bush than a tree. I can't find what it is, if you know, tell me please.

Dried up dead frog




 Found this flat dried up frog on my path around Lake Claremont. I can't see it is a motorbike frog as it looks so skinny, but then I have no idea how they look like when dead and flat.

Eucalyptus bark





 Two eucalyptus trees growing in my backyard, I love the smooth white skin of the skinny one, and the fast growing one has cracks from the eagerness to grow quick
