An April photo from the old part of my archive, of the lovely sweetgale (Myrica gale).
I grew up with them around the house, but didn't learn and experience that they leave a lovely scent if you rub them between your fingers until recently.
I hope you will have a nice weekend and great start of April!
I will spend the weekend together with my beloved choir on a tour, and stay with my sister and her family. I look forward to being woken up by my adorable niece and nephew ツ

Many people are fooled into thinking this furry little creature is a bee (in flight, it is even more bee-like as it produces a high-pitched buzz), and that it's long sharp proboscis makes it dangerous!
Social media sites often get many posts containing pictures of this insect, often captioned with ‘what is this?’ or ‘what type of bee is this?’, and the Natural History Museum is frequently asked to help people identify these little creatures that fool people so often! www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2014/april/bee-flies-false-wi...
In fact this little creature is a Bee-fly (The Dark-edged Bee-fly - Bombylius major), a bee mimic fly whose proboscis is used for drinking nectar and it is completely harmless to humans!
However, it is parasitic on solitary mining bees and bumblebees, and lays its eggs in the nests of its hosts. It does this by hovering over nests or burrows and dropping or flicking their eggs into the nest. Before they deposit the eggs, they coat them in soil or dust. This adds weight to the eggs and may also be a form of camouflage. Once the larvae hatch, they crawl further into the nest/burrow and feed on mature bee larvae, eventually killing them. Another way in which this little creature is an April fool!
April showers bring May flowers!

I have been keeping an eye on this tree for a while now, but always too lazy to get out of the car to shoot it. Finally on Friday I decided to pull over and take a couple of shots. It's late April but this guy still has no leaves, I wonder when it's going to turn green.

Seriously, there haven't been any April Showers here. In fact, winter is clinging with a tenacity that is bringing some folks down. I am not among them though. The days are long and the sun is strong. I can handle the 20 below in the mornings while the snow slowly recedes in the afternoons.

Jongstleden 1 april reed RFO uit het niks een losse loc-trein naar de Sloehaven. Of het een testrit betrof of iets anders is mij niet bekend, maar in ieder geval werd direct naar de dichtstbijzijnde stek gefietst. De trein kwam zo snel langs dat ik in alle haast mijn lensdop er niet meer af kon halen...
Its gone 3 weeks between this and the last 4x5 I took in snow. And it all happened so fast when sailing down in mediterranean.
