In 1892 the company Fortuin celebrated its 50th anniversary by producing mints with the image of the 12-year-old Princess Wilhelmina, which have continued in production since then. Among Dutch sweets, these mints have become the "most Dutch of all”. (I agree… I love ‘em. And I’m lucky I have a Dutch connection who not only introduced them to me, but also sends me more Queen Mints when I run out.)
A little bit about the queen: Princess Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau actually became queen at 10 years old when her father died. Her mother, Emma, was named regent until Wilhelmina was enthroned at 18 years old. “Koningin van Oranje” Wilhelmina reigned from 1890-1948.
As you may know, oranje (orange) is the official color of the Dutch Royal Family, has a long history in The Netherlands, and is the color that is highly celebrated nationally much as Americans feel patriotic about red, white and blue.

The Mint, Rye, East Sussex
Wander through the medieval buildings of Mint Street in Rye, East Sussex, admiring the timbered architecture of houses, inns, and pubs. This charming destination is a photographer's dream, with picturesque streets and historic buildings waiting to be captured.

I see these small colourful moths now and again but because of their size can't often get a photo as they are usually easily disturbed.
I was happy to get a photo of this one.
A mint leaf. Macro shoot using off camera light. I put my small light just behind the leaf which made it so vibrant. No colour, vibrancy modification in post.
Common Carder on a mint flower in the garden.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bombus pascuorum, the common carder bee, is a species of bumblebee present in most of Europe in a wide variety of habitats such as meadows, pastures, waste ground, ditches and embankments, roads, and field margins, as well as gardens and parks in urban areas and forests and forest edges. It is similar in appearance to Bombus muscorum, and is replacing the species in Northern Britain.

"My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate." - Thornton Wilder

A standard Sunday around the house. Managed to get a lot of house work done, the laundry is almost caught up and I prepared something new for dinner this week.
I found a recipe online for vegan cabbage rolls, so I'm giving that a shot and hoping it's pretty tasty. They've been in the slow cooker all afternoon and they smell wonderful. Fingers crossed that they taste as good as they smell.
Since St. Patrick's day is just around the corner, I figured I'd work some green into this week's Sweet Sunday image, and the mint chocolate ice cream caught my eye while going through the grocery store yesterday.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Green bottle on mint flower in the garden.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Common greenbottle" redirects here. This phrase may also refer to another species in the Lucilia genus, Lucilia caesar.
The common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) is a blowfly found in most areas of the world and is the most well-known of the numerous green bottle fly species. Its body is 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) in length – slightly larger than a house fly – and has brilliant, metallic, blue-green or golden coloration with black markings. It has short, sparse, black bristles (setae) and three cross-grooves on the thorax. The wings are clear with light brown veins, and the legs and antennae are black. The larvae of the fly may be used for maggot therapy, are commonly used in forensic entomology, and can be the cause of myiasis in livestock and pets. The common green bottle fly emerges in the spring for mating.
Mint or mentha belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which contains around 15 to 20 plant species, including peppermint and spearmint. It is a popular herb that people can use fresh or dried in many dishes and infusions
I had mint buttercream leftover from a cake and I didn't want to throw out yet another batch. So I made cookies!
My minifee Woosoo Mint.

Comparison with Melon, Peppermint and MSR.
The first thing I thought when I opened peppermint was "Fresh." She's very pretty! As far as observations go her coloring is cooler than Melon's. I'm Melon's second owner so I'm not sure if her hair color has shifted. My MSR's hair is showing evidence of it in the photo although it's barely perceivable in natural light. Nonetheless, the results of this photo surprised me. To my eye Mint's color is a shade lighter than MSR with a touch of Melon's color. A day time photo will follow soon. It's night here right now.
Flash controlled exposure at ISO 250, f8, 1/250. Ambient light contamination eliminated. Color correction for white and black points only.

This is neither mint nor moon. It's actually a hydrangea with a streetlamp in the background. Not quite sure why the lamplight turns pink except that is was dusk and the light was funny.
I've torqued the palette somewhat by using a Cross Process filter in LR, which basically exaggerates the blues as far as I can tell. It's helpful to the composition because it tends to unify all the background bokeh into one colour while isolating the pink of the lamplight further. So - prettier colours but also stronger composition.
This beautiful moth is really quite tiny in size being no bigger than the tip of the little finger. The image was taken in my garden when I spotted it land on one of the garden plants.
