African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)
Only the second time I have seen one of these. The first being in January last year.
I add the description that I got at that time.
This is a recently introduced exotic African carder bee, (Pseudoanthidium repetitum). It differs from the native Megachile bees in that the white bands across the abdomen are coloured cuticle rather than coloured hair as found in native bees. The common name carder comes from the way females construct a brood cell. Some native Megachile bees use cut leaves to build a cell while others gather plant resin. This bee scrapes or carders plant fibres from the leaves of a few plant families and makes a cotton wool like brood cell. First found in Australia in 2000 in Brisbane and was recorded in Perth in 2020. These bees often nest in human made boxes (especially fuse boxes) so get transported easily by us. An interesting bee to have in your garden.

Monte Summano:
Il Monte Summano è una montagna delle Alpi alta 1.296 m. Per la sua particolare collocazione rappresenta un elemento importante del paesaggio vicentino. Presenta una flora molto particolare in virtù del fatto che fin dall'antichità questa altura era oggetto di pellegrinaggi. La tradizione voleva che ogni viandante portasse, come dono al monte, i fiori della terra di provenienza del visitatore.
Val D'Astico:
La Val d'Astico è una valle della provincia di Vicenza attraversata dal corso del torrente Astico. La valle si trova incuneata fra il monte Summano e l'Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.

Bristol Airport’s WX19 LYC is seen leaving the Staff Transport Hub working a Staff Shuttle. This vehicle was formerly with SBS Transit as SG4004B and recently imported to the UK. One of very few (if not the only) Citaro Hybrid in the UK currently.
Great Barrington, MA, is the home of a huge store that imports all manner of wood carvings and art from Asia. I loved a lot of items - but these carved wooden fish were the only thing I could afford!

I'm not an import guy, so I have no idea about make and model. All I know is that it sure looked good driving up and parked for a few minutes...

These creatures are called “Lantern Flies” They are an import from our friends in China. They destroy a number of tree species, grape vines, and some other assorted plants. The county I live in has the dubious distinction of being the very first place they were discovered several years ago. They are prolific breeders, will not be eaten by birds or other insects, and have spread to a number of other locations including some states. And there isn’t a tariff on importing them.

I got a question for ya ... what does this city know about luxury? ... huh?
What does a town that's been to hell and back know about the finer things in life? ... well I'll tell ya ... more than most.
Ya see, it's the hottest fires that make the hardest steel ...
Add hard work and conviction and the knowhow that runs generations deep in every last one of us ... THAT'S who we are ... that's our story.
Now it's probably not the one you've been reading in papers, the one being written by folks who've never even been here and don't know what we're capable of.
'Cuz when it comes to luxury, it's as much about where it's from as who it's for.
Now we're from America, but this isn't New York City or the Windy City or Sin City and we're certainly no one's Emerald City ...
This is the MOTOR CITY ... and THIS is what we do ...
