Re: Backyard wildlife
Quite spoilt, hey? With backyards at home and at the office like that. 

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
Re: Backyard wildlife
It is quite nice but I don't get a lot of time to appreciate it - I'm usually stuck in an office staring at a computer screen.

My SO found this adult Ant Lion at her workplace and brought it home for me to photograph - she works in the middle of nowhere and has Eland and Blesbok wandering around the property.
