I have been overrun by paper wasps so today was an unexpected neighbourhood effort as we worked to remove the nests from the eavestrough and the side mirrors of my car.
Thankfully my immediate neighbour claims he's immune to wasps and was happy to remove the nests while I sprayed the RAID. Generally I prefer to annoy pests into relocating rather than full on destruction, but this situation called for extreme measures.
I think we got them all, but we'll keep an eye out for the next few days.
Oh, and I think my neighbour is right about being immune... three nests destroyed and not one sting for any involved.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Navidad modo on.
Estas son las galletas caseras que he hecho este año para decorar mi árbol de Navidad.
Nothing too fancy today; just a quick flat lay.
I was hoping to get some shots of the chickadees that visited earlier today but they didn't have the patience to wait for me to change my lens so I had to go with the backup plan.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I couldn't think what to do for this week's challenge, but then I remembered a little calendar I'd bought in Venice over twenty years ago, which I still had in a drawer. It's strange to look at it now and recall the excitement of a new century ahead, as well as the panic about the 'millennium bug' (also known as Y2K) which never really materialised. How innocent those days seem now.
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Calendar.
I had no time to bake cookies so store bought will have to do.

Technology can be amazing, but not as amazing as life itself. We have been able to watch the process of preparing for and birthing the next generation via a nesting box with camera that can be operated remotely through our phones. The camera has an automated setting to take pictures on a regular basis, but we can also access the live feed and activate the shutter at opportune moments. Here we see six babies snuggled together.

Der "Gravensteiner" ist ein Sommerapfel, der von Ende August bis Mitte September erntereif ist. Einst weltweit verbreitet, mit Schwerpunkten in Europa von Südtirol bis Norwegen, in Kalifornien und im kanadischen Nova Scotia, hat seine kommerzielle Bedeutung in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark nachgelassen und er ist vor allem als Liebhabersorte verbreitet.
The "Gravensteiner" is a summer apple, ready for harvest from late August to mid-September. Once widespread throughout the world, with focal points in Europe from South Tyrol to Norway, in California, and in Nova Scotia, Canada, its commercial importance has greatly diminished in recent decades and it is distributed mainly as a hobbyist variety.

To be honest I was stumped for today, so I reverted to my favorite - a flat lay. Metal is hard for me, I hate all the reflections and colors that pop in, so I converted it to B&W (is that considered alchemy??) Who knows, but it's done! :)
Today I wished to test a very simple recipe of a lime cheesecake I read in a magazine.
I invited 2 good friends to have a cup of tea with me and share this new cake recipe.
I broke the cake when I pulled it off the tin... so the picture is far from perfect but the cake was delicious!

Det finns ju rätt många saker som gör en glad: när grannen ringer på och säger att man glömt nyckeln i låset; när sonen meddelar att den där senaste kycklingrätten man gjorde till middag, nog är det godaste han ätit; när man ser affischen att ens favvoband kommer till stan lite senare i år; bara för att ta några exempel. Eller så kan det vara när man kommer på att innehållet i den däringa ohemult stora godispåsen som råkade följa med hem från affären, faktiskt skulle kunna tjäna som motiv till veckans temabild. Då blir man ju också lite happy liksom.
This time, our Photo of the Month is a little bit different, but comes with a very important message for all photographers out there.
‘Photographers Portrait’, this creative flat-lay shot by Swedish photographer Rania Maria Rönntoft, came from a photo she entered for a contest on Instagram. The aim of the contest was “What’s In My Bag” and called for a flat-lay (overhead) shot of the gear and equipment that one needed to stay inspired and do their creative work.
When Rania explained her idea for her shot to her boyfriend Andreas, he said, “What about you? Sure, you need those things to execute an idea. But it all starts with you.” Here he pointed to her head. “The creative process begins in there."
“That’s how this gear-focused photo of #whatsinmybag turned into a self-portrait,” tells the photographer. “I never even considered myself as a part of what I do... Weird, huh?”
Therefore, in this month’s Photo of the Month, we are highlighting the photographer behind the image. Because Rania and Andreas are absolutely correct- it all starts with you.
Have a lovely March everyone!
