Another grey day with low cloud settling on the small hills.

This bush is called Pride of de Cape. Most plants which have these kidney or heart shaped leaves turn to follow the sun.

He shall have to remain nameless as I cannot find him in any of my books or other sources.
After chasing this butterfly for about 20 minutes I managed to get this one (not so good) picture of it before it was gone. It did not settle for long anywhere and was most unco-operative. I cannot find him anywhere either. I find it quite strange as he has a most unusual body too.

We only have two types of squirrel here, the Ground Squirrel and the Tree Squirrel. The Ground one likes arid areas and is not found in the Park.
