Cadmium Orange Fuzzywuzzy

Thanks to everyone who identified the jellyfishythingys - for those who are curious, they're called a By-the-wind sailor or Velella velella, of the Cnidaria family, which includes blue bottles, jellies and corals.

So, last Sunday I escaped to Scarborough for a delightfull walk with my good friends Ian and Mo in the hills behind their house. They made the fatal mistake of including me in the invitation to us all to bring our cameras as there would be plenty of opportunity to take pictures. I brought my mirco lens which seems to also belong to a micro time field, as I swear I was only hovering with my nose to the ground for a few seconds to photograph this tiny flower, or that teeny bug, but in the mean time one of the party had to be sent back to check I was still ok!


So, another challenge this week, this time to ID this Cadmium Orange Fuzzywuzzy, found inching at a rate of knots up a short restio near Scarborough (although I've seen them all over the Peninsula and as far North as Namaqualand).
