My now resident robin helping me keep my box hedge free of bugs. He is helped by a multitude of sparrows.
A primeira coisa da qual nos apercebemos quando chegamos a Budapeste pela primeira vez, é que esta magnífica cidade tinha uma cor única, que tanto nos fez lembrar a nossa querida Lisboa, por se tratar de uma cidade com uma luz mística e rara, que muitos dizem ser amarela, mas que na verdade, e depois de bem analisada, percebemos que não, Budapeste é mais uma cidade dourada, uma cor só ao alcance de pouquíssimas cidades da Europa e do mundo, uma característica única que nós reconhecemos em três ou quatro cidades das muitas que visitamos.
Para além de Lisboa, Budapeste é sem dúvida uma dessas cidades, com uma luz e um desígnio ímpar na história e na cultura universal. Estar na capital da Hungria é como estar dentro de uma fotografia antiga, achada num velho baú de sótão, envelhecida por o tempo e dourada por a sua história.
Há uma aura de mistério nesta cidade, como naqueles filmes antigos de vampiros, bruxas e outras criaturas mitológicas, imaginárias de mundos distantes, de sonhos perdidos e de algo que não conseguimos explicar muito bem, por se tratar de uma fusão de magia com um pouquinho de real, mas que no entanto está lá e nos puxa com uma força inexplicável para dentro do seu âmago, do seu passado e das suas raízes com uma força irresistível, quase como que fazendo uma exigência à qual não conseguimos resistir, embriagando-nos com tudo o que tem de mais belo e com as suas histórias mais escuras e sombrias.
O que faz de Budapeste uma cidade especial para além da sua luz, é sem dúvida aquele que é um dos mais belos rios da Europa e sobre o qual já tanto se escreveu e disse, o Danúbio. Sem o rio a dividir a cidade em duas, Buda e Peste, esta não teria certamente o mesmo encanto nem a mesma beleza.
As inúmeras e gigantescas pontes que atravessam o rio Danúbio, completam a paisagem e dão à cidade Húngara um certo ar Londrino e um glamour Parisiense. A Ponte das Correntes foi projetada e desenhada em Inglaterra, e enviada em secções para aqui ser montada.
A sensação que sentimos ao percorrer as ruas de Budapeste é algo dificilmente descritível, não só pela complexidade de sentimentos com os quais somos evadidos, mas também pela atitude do seu povo, que parece extravasar muito para além da cidade, com uma atitude muito própria de quem é Húngaro mas consciente de que Budapeste também é uma cidade do mundo.
Foi por todos estes motivos, mas também por o bom povo que aqui habita, que ficamos eternamente apaixonados por Budapeste.

A Green Bottle Fly and the tiniest ant I can imagine seemed to circle each other on the Black-eyed Susan in my garden.
On a street near our apartment in Pest. And thanks to Endre Savari (on Flickr), I now know what it is:
The two-figure sculptural composition is meant to depict the theatre/the play, and is actually an inverted image of Hamlet, with the death-head figure holding the artist’s head in his hand. The head depicts Géza Hofi, who was a Hungarian actor, singer and the greatest humourist in Hungary. He died in 2002 and this public statue was created in his honour.
This Robin was catching insects on my rose bush, as it is feeding it's young in next door's garden. Taken this morning through the window.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

European Starlings are an invasive, considered to be a pest in some parts of the US. Even so, I think that they are quite beautiful.

Obviously a shield bug, I think it's a Carpocoris purpureipennis. There seem to be more of them this year than usual. I don't think that I just didn't noticed them in previous years because with their vibrant colours they are hard to overlook, especially if you crawl over meadows in search of possible photo subjects. The pretty fellow is considered as an agricultural pest because he can damage soybean, beans, cabbage, carrots, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes, radish, wheat and apple trees. This information would have dampened my enthusiasm if I had found him and his numerous relatives in my garden but he lives on a meadow outside town and therefore isn't my problem.
This little pest was eating one of the Dahlia plant’s leaves. I caught it and put it outside. I really like them and don’t mind them except when they are chewing the Dahlias.
Invasive Destructive Pest - Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph. These insects have caused severe damage to trees and fruit orchards, yet booths nymph and the adult are quite beautiful.
And yes I did destroy this one after photographing it.

First she was the voice of the people, now she feeds them DARLING!
"What a resounding success this charitable endeavour has and continues to be, feeding the mouths of those impoverished masses affected by our dwindling economy. Call me Philanthropena Pest, darling. Doing what our politicians won't do. Just don't ask me what's in the ingredients, darling, because it's a secret. *smoky laugh!*
Come one, come all, darling! You don't need to bring anything (although a camera always helps)! All publicity is good publicity, unless it's really bad publicity in which case, this stand was made possible by Saffron Macauley's money, darling. Mwah!
This is really a tiny insect, the Pea Weevil which is a pest to pea and bean plants. I am not sure if it is of the Lady Mantle plant which it is on! I think it is on the leaf, as you can see, to access the plenty of water drops to drink from!

Painted this wall with servo, limit and asesr. Those guys came out from canada, super nice guys had a blast. Sadly limit got to wasted and didn't finish his piece so I will have to post his later.
View from the Citadel with on left side Boeda and on the right Pest. The city is split in half by the Donau. Boeda is on the hill and captures a lot of historic sight to see and Pest is flat also with a lot of historic features but there are also very trendy bars,restaurants and shops. They even have their on kind of Champs Elysee :-)
Aphid
Seen during a brief walk in the garden today.
Apologies in advance if I get a bit behind today, I will be having a nap shortly.
I didn’t realize that Budapest is actually comprised of two distinct areas, Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River until I arrived there. It is another enchanting European city, steeped in history and filled with endless places to explore. I captured this photo early one morning in the biting cold of spring! I can still remember my phone and my other electronics shutting down unexpectedly because of the freezing wind!
The Oxpecker at the Buffalo's nose must tickle. But the Oxpeckers help keep the animals they service pest free. They mostly eat ticks.
L’ermita de Sant Roc és un temple del qual parla la documentació des de la segona meitat del segle XIV, aleshores sota l’advocació de Sant Sebastià. Diu la tradició que es va construir com a agraïment al sant per haver protegit la població d’una epidèmia de pestaL’any 1768 fou reformat i ampliat l’edifici original i va canviar d’advocació. Aleshores segons la majoria d’autors va iniciar-se el culte a Sant Roc. Se’l sol invocar contra les epidèmies i les plagues, especialment contra la pesta bubònica. Aquesta invocació la comparteix amb Sant Sebastià. S’afirma que l’any 1645 a l’església d’una Frascati en plena pandèmia va aparèixer en una de les seves parets una magnífica pintura al fresc amb la representació dels dos sants; s’afirma que la plaga va desaparèixer.
Four-Lined Plant Bugs are considered to be pests, since they occasionally do damage to herbaceous plants, mints, and rarely to wood. The nymphs cause the majority of plant damage.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
UItzicht vanaf Vissersbastion (Halászbástya) over de Donau op Pest gedeelte van Boedapest
Pest is een van de drie steden waaruit de Hongaarse hoofdstad Boedapest ontstond. Het is het grootste, grotendeels vlakke gedeelte van de hoofdstad dat op de linkeroever (oostoever) van de Donau ligt.
Pest beslaat met zijn 352 km² ongeveer twee derde van het grondgebied van de hoofdstad. De Donau scheidt het stadsdeel van Boeda en Óbuda, de andere twee delen van Boedapest, waarmee het in 1873 werd verenigd. Informeel wordt de naam Pest vaak ook gebruikt om heel Boedapest aan te duiden.
In Pest bevinden zich onder meer het zakelijke hart van de stad, het Parlementsgebouw met de verschillende ministeries en het Stadspark met het Heldenplein (Hősök tere). Ook de meeste industrie bevindt zich in Pest.

View from Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) across the Danube on Pest part of Budapest
Pest is one of the three cities that created the Hungarian capital Budapest. It is the largest, largely flat, part of the capital that lies on the left bank (east bank) of the Danube.
With its 352 km², Pest covers approximately two thirds of the capital's territory. The Danube divides the district from Buda and Óbuda, the other two parts of Budapest, with which it was united in 1873. Informally, the name Pest is often used to indicate the whole of Budapest.
Pest is home to the business heart of the city, the Parliament building with the various ministries and the City Park with the Heroes' Square (Hősök tere). Most industry is also located in Pest.
