I am hoping lightning does strike twice, and I get another chance of captures like these this year. But this time with Meadow Pipits as the host bird.

***
Princess earring is a hybrid species obtained from South American fuchsia species, mainly Fuchsia corymbiflora Ruiz. & Pav., Fuchsia fulgens Moc. & Ses. and Fuchsia magellanica Lam.
Scientific Name: Fuchsia sp
Family: Onagracee.
In South America alone there are over 200 different species of princess earring, also known as fuchsia, tickle and tear.
Flower symbol of Rio Grande do Sul, is a plant that is a huge international success. It has many varieties, and both petals and sepals can be of different colors and shapes. The most common colors are red, pink, blue, violet and white, with various combinations, without blending. They rise practically all year round and attract hummingbirds as pollinators.
The branch is pending, but there may be variations, with upright and other pending plants. Should be grown preferably under half shade, some species enjoy full sun.
Its propagation occurs through seeds or by cutting the tips of its branches.
Although it has a great variety, there is a common trait among them all: they greatly appreciate the cold. Therefore, they are more common in places with mild climate. Easily found in the highest regions of Rio Grande do Sul, amid the Atlantic Forest.
Propagation can be either by seed or by cuttings. A curiosity about the origin of its scientific name. Fuchsia derives from the surname of the German physician and botanist Leonhart Fuchs, born in Wemding (1501/1566).
Antic hostal de camí ral, situat en una collada del municipi de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès (Osona), sota la muntanya dels Munts, en un indret travessat per antics camins ramaders i per la moderna cruïlla de carreteres que enllacen el Lluçanès amb el Ripollès i la plana de Vic.
Antiga masoveria de la masia del Vilar de Sant Boi, fins el 1965, és una masia de tipus basilical que té a la llinda la data de 1756. S'hi celebra una tradicional fira de bestiar el 28 de setembre, en l’època que els ramats de les contrades pirinenques i subpirinenques baixen a hivernar a les zones, més càlides, de l’interior. La fira se celebra en camp obert, i l’hostal li ha donat el nom de fira de l’Hostal del Vilar. (enciclopèdia.cat)

'I wandered lonely as a cloud,
when all at once I saw a crowd,
a host, of golden daffodils,
beside the lake, beneath the trees,
fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
By William Wordsworth
I like this poem, and the row of daffodils guarding the holly hedge in my garden reminded me ot 'the host of golden daffodils'.
Every year about this time, I watch the hosta plants emerge and I am captivated. Last year I was testing a lens and this is one of the shots captured.
If I remember correctly, shot with Rodenstock Retina Heligon 50mm f1.9.
