(The glass is from the Swedish glass manufacturer Kosta, and their series Kent - it once belonged to my grand-parents. And I got a new camera lens at Christmas, so now I can take real close-ups.)

**I went back early yesterday morning for a few close-ups of the flower bed in my previous post… Wishing you a peaceful/beautiful day. ❧
#Corazonrotoparacompartir
Tantos y tantos corazones rotos, cuando llega el fin del amor por ahí, pudiendo compartir tanto.
Remember that life is full of ups and downs. Without the downs, the ups would mean nothing. - unknown
Even leaves need to stay in shape so when I saw this leaf doing it's daily exercise - a stiff round of 50 pull-ups (very impressive!) - I just had to get a shot.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Zwischen den Isozaki-Türmen in Bilbao – Isozaki Atea - mit Luxuswohnungen entstand ein breiter Treppenabgang zum Fluss hinab. Diese Treppe direkt mit der Zubizuri-Brücke zu verbinden, die einige Jahre zuvor gebaut worden war, drängte sich förmlich auf. Entworfen hatte die “weiße Brücke“ Santiago Calatrava aus dem spanischen Valencia.
Isozakis Plan (in Absprache mit der Stadtverwaltung) sah einen praktischen und fußgänger-freundlichen Verbindungssteg mit der “Zubizuri-Brücke“ vor. Doch hatte der Kollege Calatrava Einwände gegen diesen Steg – und klagte. Es sei ein unerlaubter Eingriff in sein Werk.
Not the greatest quality, but this was the best shot of the bunch that I took here.

In life we all have our ups and downs. However when we are up it isn't completely in our control as is the case with these snails. On the teeter totter the snail on the bottom is in control of keeping the other one up. When he pushes off to make himself higher the other snail now has the power. It is a give and take situation as with so many things in life. When you are up enjoy the good times but when you are down remember you have the power to push yourself up.
PS - pretend the snails can actually push themselves up.
..... of trying to photograph butterflies. Like everyone I suppose, I love their animation and friendly splashes of colour. Unfortunately where I live they get fewer every year, So far I've only seen about six including this one of which I did manage to get just one shot.
Thank you so much for the happiness you give me by choosing my picture to represent your amazing group. Hugs! 💙💛

Tiempo de mosquitos... como éste, un "Aedes cf. geniculatus" (creo), que es el primo autóctono del archiconocido mosquito tigre invasor (llamado "Aedes albopictus"), pillado en plena faena, (hasta se puede apreciar mi sangre subiéndole por su aparato bucal). Es lo que tiene pasar horas en pleno campo, que te llegan a acribillar. Aunque vamos a aclarar ideas.
Esta clase de mosquitos hembras durante un corto periodo de su vida adulta necesitan algunas de las proteinas presentes en la sangre de vertebrados para que sus huevos puedan desarrollarse satisfactoriamente, y por lo tanto hacen lo que tienen que hacer. Durante el resto de su vida son totalmente vegetarianos.
A mi me parecen buenas madres arriesgando su vida exponiéndose a un animal enorme comparado con ella, con tal de que sus hijos puedan salir adelante.
El mosquito no elige ser lo que es, simplemente es lo que le "ha tocado ser". ¿Acaso vosotros no haríais lo mismo que ella si os hubiese tocado nacer así? Nadie elige lo que es, a cada uno le toca lo que le toca y no olvidemos que todos somos animales. Ninguno es mejor que otro, sólo diferentes, y a veces no tan diferentes.
