Whilst photographing the Southern Red Bishops yesterday, this Cape Skimmer (Orthetrum julia capensis) was my companion.

Red Bishops in the Reeds
A few weeks ago, I drew attention to Southern Red Bishops (Euplectes orix) chattering in the reeds at nightfall. During the South African spring (September to November), the males turn bright red and weave exquisite nests for the breeding season. I photographed a small colony yesterday.
To think that one agonises for weeks or months over what will be read or recited in a moment. A poet can but hope it is the sweetest moment in a reader’s life, echoing in his soul for a lifetime thereafter.
