Hot Weather and Kite Spiders


It's been terribly dry and hot these last few days and the garden is starting to feel it. These hardy hedges are as happy as ever though, and I love their soft pink young shoots.






I have no idea what this flowering shrub is but the scent is divine - sadly it instantly wilts in a vase!






Madison was keeping cool in the marigold bushes outside the kitchen...






...while Maverick was impersonating a jungle tiger amid the ferns.






I was very excited to see a kite spider making its home in one of the mango trees this weekend...






...and even more so to find a second one spinning away in the frangipani tree this afternoon. It was tough getting the shot because there was an almost constant breeze so he was merrily bobbing and bouncing and swinging in the wind!
