Hier konnte ich einen wunderschönen C-Falter einfangen der mir in meiner Sammlung noch fehlte 😊

I bought this glass star 20 years ago and hung it in our kitchen window. I love the way the early morning sun dances on it, causing it to glisten with colours that aren't readily obvious until the sun lights it up. I've never taken a photo of it, before, so this has been a fun opportunity to record its beauty.

Pollinator Pom-Pom—the buttonbush blossom bringing full cheer to bees, butterflies, and the occasional macro photographer. Nature’s fluffiest fan favorite.

It started as a bit of fun however has, over the years, developed into a whacky tradition. On Christmas Eve the two of us always have a drink of bubbly and a piece of christmas cake. It started with a strawberry on the side of the glass and a tiny umbrella set into that. One year, for a bit of fun, I put a wedge of tomato on the glass instead of the strawberry. It looked so interesting that I have continued doing it (must be for more than 10 years). Each year I add something different to the mix so these days we're up to two glasses on the tray, christmas cake, christmas mince pies, licorice allsorts and fake flashing coloured light cubes. Absolutely the silliest tradition, yet heaps of fun. 🎄🎅

Quiet but strong.

I'm really enjoying this process. This is the handle hinge of a blue transparent plastic bucket (i.e. the entire bucket is made from blue transparent plastic, including the handle). I used lights inside and outside the bucket, to create shadows, etc. HMM 😀

This is the cutest wee Japanese bell with such a clear little 'ting'. I have had it for many years. It hangs in a doorway in our house and I often 'ting it' as I walk into the room.

The eyes of an owl are not true “eyeballs.” Their tube-shaped eyes are completely immobile, providing binocular vision which fully focuses on their prey and boosts depth perception. Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees and tip their heads up and down 90 degrees. A group of owls is called a parliament.

This figurine was given to my husband's mother, by his father, on their very first date in the early 1930's. They were at a fun fair in Southampton (England) and his dad won it at a ball-throwing stall. Originally it had little lights inside the head, that made the eyes glow, but over the years the lights got lost. My husband (we live in New Zealand) was recently sent the figurine by his daughter in England, who found it in a family storage facility. Because my husband remembered it with eyes that lit up, he has made a tiny LED light arrangement that fits inside the body and head, powered by batteries.

In June 1991 I went to Tokyo, to stay with a friend who worked at the New Zealand Embassy there. By day she went to work, while I tripped about on my own. On one of the days I took a local tour that included a visit to the Tokyo Tower. As a memento, everyone on the tour was given a gold filigree bookmark with the tower featuring on it. Mine got put into a big photo album of my photos from the trip and has sat there ever since, until I brought it out to take this photo. At 332.9 metres tall, the Tokyo Tower is the second tallest structure in the country. Its design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Built in 1958, it is painted every 5 years and is brightly coloured due to international air safety regulations. More than 150 million people have been up the tower since it was opened to the public. HMM 😍

Yes, I was slicing bananas. Since 1997 I have enjoyed a Banana high-protein shake for breakfast. We go through a lot of bananas and it has got to the stage where, these days, I buy 30 bananas at a time. I then peel, slice and free-flow freeze them and we use a handful of the frozen slices each day. It's a delicious breakfast.

Fine organic dining, mantis style. Humans have farm-to-table, we do it leaf-to-mouth.
