This was another rose from my neighbor's garden. I plan on snagging a couple more photos while they're in perfect bloom, and before I move to another city. I don't know what I'll do when I'm living in an apartment without such a beautiful garden right next to me. Unfortunately I may be restricted when it comes to floral photography. Luckily I will have some nice rolling hills to look forward to!

Il fiore ha come un miele
che inebria l’aria; un suo vapor che bagna
l’anima d’un oblìo dolce e crudele.
(Giovanni Pascoli- La Digitale Purpurea)

The flower has a sort of a honey
that inebriates the air; a fume of its own that moistens
the soul with a mean and sweet oblivion.
(Giovanni Pascoli- The Foxglove)
(Foxglove / Digitale purpurea)
Tiny spider about 2mm diameter sitting in the centre of its orb-web waiting for prey. When it sets itself up to catch prey, it stretches its 4 front legs forward on the web strands. Then it pulls back slightly, to tension the web, in order to feel vibrations as a potential meal catches in the sticky strands.
