There are over 90 species of sundew. The majority are found in Australia and South Africa, but they also grow in hot, humid areas of Georgia, Florida and other similar climates. The plants prefer acidic soils and are usually where there is a bog or marsh and often grow on top of sphagnum moss.
With this image, wish you happy summer holidays.
I'll see you again september.
Many tanks for your visit,
your critic comment, is much pleasing.
Please, no invitation.

This is my last post in a couple of weeks. I'll be off for some vacation with the family in Sweden. I do consider this shot sort of iconic picture of the bokeh serie I've been posting and surely there are more interesting of the genre but in this I find a great clarity of the buds vs that background bokeh making it sort of the representative shot. I dedicate this to all flickr photographers out there that showed me the world of bokeh and that made me curios about it and particularly to *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ that also introduced me technically to this kind of photography. He explained that you don't need the most expensive gear to get the best bokeh result, the contrary with a used prime lens (which one can find used for about 30-60 euro) you can do marvelous things. And it was exactly what I did find, a superb little gem. The pentax m50 f1.7!
So gear do count yes but that doesn't mean that it must necessarily cost a lot of money.
By the way check out *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ's amazing stream!

Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.
At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.
In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created

One of my huge peony buds covered in water drops after a morning shower. You can see the refraction of the hanger from a hanging flower basket in the big droplet...it kind of looks like a hook ;-) Please view large.
Have a great Saturday and awesome weekend, my friends!
