We took the top off our rainwater tank this morning, so that we can get it all fixed up and use the 22,000 ltrs that is just sitting there going to waste at the moment! ... the tank is brimming with life - in the sunshine there were dragonflies, butterflies, bees, wasps, lizards and HEAPS of frogs ... I counted at least 15 ... all fairly small, probably about the size of a 50 cent peice I guess ... they were just beautiful.
They would dart down to the bottom of the tank whenever I moved too quickly, but if I stayed still for long enough they would let themselves float to the top and bob about ... some sitting on the wall, others in the middle just enjoying the sunshine I guess ...
Some of them had the most gorgeous black spotted legs ...
And, I've just come to an even greater appreciation of those glorious macro dragonfly shots taken by wildlife photographers ... they are damn hard little critters to capture, and they NEVER stay still!
