March Shoulder Month With Venus, Jupiter, Dropwings And Skippers
Skies during daylight hours driving hot sunbeams beating the earth once again, afternoon to evening covered with cloud, little to no rainfall at the moment.
We dodged Cyclone Freddy, East to West back East, spinning axis took it back to Madagascar where those poor folk are now having a second round with the same storm.
Cloud formation looks promising, as evening approached it dissipated giving a wonderful view of Venus and Jupiter showing up, Waxing Gibbous was a little more toward the East not able to get all in neatly together to see them in the almost Blue Moment. Look between the branches of tree)
Talking about Blue next up @papilloncharity will have to clarify for me, Navy Dropwing - (Trithemis furva) dancing in between the plants with what looked to be a Skipper (Pelopidas sp. (Hesperiinae)) chasing continuously.
Close up: Perhaps in the heat of the moment they did not keep very good company, interesting to watch all the same.
Skipper waiting to chase... BTW Zac was right in saying these guys come land in the same spot more often than not.
Another most unusual show recently, spider web along river rock wall, now who builds a nest like this I have no idea.
Exquisite in design, perhaps enjoys a little bird seed, ants would venture through possibly, how knows I think it just looks cool!
Gadding around watching life happen is my favourite times of the day, being outdoors, not enjoying the heat of the sun, outdoors with sublime crazy happenings around every corner.
Wishing you a wonderful day, remember to look up it's almost full moon once again, shoulder month starting to move toward shorter days, hopefully cooler soon down in the South.

How To
Glad to hear you dodged Cyclone Freddy, looking scary from news...
Gadding around watching life happen is indeed very fun. Nice captures of all those textures and activities in nature!
We were most fortunate, heavy flooding up North recently, don't think they could take any more. I feel very sorry for Madagascar taking the hit twice by same cyclone.
Have a wonderful Sunday, thanks for visiting and kind comments.
Although it's sad that the poor people in Madagascar have to deal with the storm again, I am glad that Freddy has left you.
Awesome photo, but I wouldn't have thought these are planets - I obviously have no idea about these things, so I am glad to have learned something new 😁
Zac will certainly tell you more about these two guys and who is chasing whom 😉
I love spiders and spider webs and often I watch spiders building their webs in front of the security cameras in our company. Of course, I have seen spider webs on the ground, but I can't remember to have seen one close to water. Maybe Zac can help you here too.

Still dry in some parts of the country, glad to see rains approaching from the Cape in the next day or two, our 'normal' side for the weather. Most times when it comes off the East - Indian Ocean it resulted in flooding.
This dragonfly was very bright blue, one could almost say turquoise being chased by mischievous Skipper, something between a moth, butterfly and grass-hopper only way I can describe him.....
Spider nest is unusual being attached to a wall, cannot see through web to what type of spider it is either.
!LUV the creepy crawlies plus other life, always interesting.

Just nice rain, no floodings nor damages from storms, that's what I wish for you.
We have Damselflies here which are this kind of blue, but this is no Damselfly. The Skipper might have gron up between Robber Flies and maybe he believes he is one himself 😂 !LOLZ
I would put a fly on the web and wait for a short while - maybe the spider comes out to catch the fly 😉

Light rain always appreciated, another hot humid start to the week.
Beautiful colour, wish I knew them on sight as we have numerous dragon flies passing through at the moment, all sizes and colours!
Flies are too busy making a nuisance of everything else except land on this web. I think the web is to capture ants or something beneath somehow.
!LUV Happy Monday
!LOLZ Keep Smiling
We have had an overcast day but I didn't mind because I wouldn't have had any time to look outside anyway 😅 !LOLZ
I remember often been searching for quite some time to find the name of an insect, and sometimes it was just impossible 😁
I think you're right - it's not meant to catch insects in flight.
The more work the faster the time flies - there's always a positive side 😉
Have a !PIZZA from me, served with !LUV

Overcast here as well, no rain making it more pleasant without the sun..
Dragonfly species there are so many, along with other insects it is impossible to know them all.
Work never goes away, even when not going into an office one finds the day filled with much to do.
Keep busy !LOLZ with a !PIZZA lunch.
!LUV whatever you do.

The weatherman says that on Thursday or Friday we might see the sun again - we'll see. It's cold during the night, but quite warm during the day.
That's true, but when I retire in a couple of years I want to keep the work or computer times as short as possible.

Hello dear friend @joanstewart good afternoon
Apparently the problem with the weather is happening in a large part of the world, in this area the heat is oppressive.
What good news that the cyclone did not pass through there, I am sorry for the people who had to endure it
Beautiful shots, I appreciate you letting us know
Have a happy start to the week
Hope you are in better health with the summer heat still lurking around. Thanks for visiting and kind words always and have a wonderful new week as well.
Is that a spider web in that last pic?
Spider web for sure, don't know what it looks like unfortunately. Very fine web weaving across a reasonable space attached to river rock wall.
Looks creepy...
Spider webs... I'm always fascinated by them!
I'm glad you were able to doge the storm, @joanstewart .
Stay safe, always!

😀 No birds... they coming!
jesus @joanstewart that looks like one mahooosive spider's web??
Yeah, most probably a teeny weeny little one behind as well!
hah!!
We've got lots of rain recently. You should take some.
I heard there weren't some planets alignment recently.
When there are no clouds, evening sky has been interesting.

The sky is an ever-evolving canvas is it not?
I am looking forward to warmer days but enjoying the sky no matter what the season here.
Sky is always interesting trying to see movement or identify, cloudy here the last couple of nights so have not been able to see much. Full moon again tonight with heavy cloud at the moment.
Lol. Same here
Have a great day, thanks for visiting @cransi

Nice shots! I wonder why your pictures appear on PeakD but not on Ecency. Something weird is going on! 🤔
Not a clue, I only use PeadD finding it my most user friendly of frontends for my work.
South Africa for me like full of natural resources and you belongs to there, so lucky you are! All images in this blog attract my attention for it's natural beauty. Thank you that you share these with we hivers, Happy international women's day Ms Joan, I wish you a great life!
Did not realize it's women's day, have a good one, thanks for kind words!
Glad the cyclone missed your area Joan. Activities in nature always interesting. A butterfly chasing a dragonfly seems a dangerous caper. 😊
Have a great Thursday!
Think the humidity hits the brain of everything lately, never seen this odd behaviour.
Had a bush snake stalking a skink both too sluggish to do much, they parted ways one to the left of me, one to the right, I stood there laughing thinking the heat is getting to everything!
Cyclone Freddy is still bouncing around in the Mozambique channel, longest active cyclone record apparently!
Have a great Thursday as well, dinner time here....
