Ever so slowly, the colors of autumn/fall are coming alive.
And also, all so slowly things in nature are starting to die.
Every one of the four seasons have their own characteristics, and Autumn is the season that is known for its colors. So, I have put together a feast of colors of this and that to share with you. Let me just say that I love flowers, but I am not a fundi on their names, as it is more the beautiful colors that draw my attention.
Come and see.
This dragonfly is a Denim Dropwing (Trithemis donaldson).
Soon all of the dragonflies will be gone and it's a sad story, as they die before winter, and then the new ones will emerge during the spring season.
Half of that yellow pond lily leaf was under the water, but look how clear the submerged part reflected its color.
I also got two new damselflies and the blue one above is of the Bluet family (Africallagma).
This damselfly above is known as a Goldtail (Allocnemis leucostica). As I said, they are both new damselflies that I have now added to my list.
Finally, there was a female carpenter bee sitting on this flower. Can you see it?
There you have it. The great color show, and amazing how it will all be gone in a few months-time. Almost like illusions. Here today, gone tomorrow, sort of thing. Winter also has its own flowers, and when winter arrives here, I will show you some of those flowers, as these in the post here were just ones that I collected for you during this week. Thankfully, we don't have very cold winters here in Africa, although some places in the country have frost, but we are lucky in our area there is no frost.
I hope you enjoyed the color show.
