These beautiful flowers popped up overnight in our backyard. The Japanese have a term for the ancient tradition of spending time viewing and enjoying flowers (often cherry) blossom during this time of the year. They call it hanami.

Definitely worth getting up at 4am this morning, Marmalade hoverfly drying off.

We are like droplets on plants in spring.

this is how it's done - with GIANT dragonflies

Yesterday afternoon I went to Beth and Scott's house. Scott is a very gifted chef and he was giving me a first lesson in baking homemade bread. After he set aside the dough to rise, I left their house. I was running a little late for a dinner party we had planned earlier. I zoomed down a residential street and spotted this moonflower bush out of the corner of my eye. All of a sudden it didn't matter that I was running late. I slammed on the brakes and shifted into reverse and grabbed my camera. Perhaps it would have been funny to witness all of this happening, you know, if you had just been a neighbor out watering the lawn. A panicked response, girl bursting out of her car, racing over to this big flower bush, and then holding perfectly still to try to catch what's hidden inside the flower. Moonflower stops the traffic!

A closeup portrait of a common carder bumblebee busy pollinating. I really like the colours in this shot. This little bee didn't seem to mind me getting close to grab this shot 😊

Supongo que se trata de llevarte el estudio a un rinconcito del campo. Flipo con las orquídeas.

Abrazos!
