My minifee Woosoo Mint.
I don't think I have ever shared her here on Flickr but she is my little witch girl :D
Yoghurt with lemon and thyme to serve with asparagus for dinner

at least the bowl is Mint Green, the spice is Thyme (sorry)
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.
I found this mint green distressed library chair at a thirft store last weekend for $10. I've been looking for two head chairs for my dining room and this chair matches my mint green, brown, and cream Dash and Albert striped rug perfectly. The pillow was found at a craft show in my town for $5. It is made from an antique tablecloth.
The time of coughing fits has come again...
Not that this helps to stop the coughing fits, luckily the camera is on a tripod.

Aperture was wide open.
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.
A tiny moth, those are garden mint leaves, it's only about 12mm.
Allegedly common but having grown mint for more years than I am comfortable revealing the first I have seen.

An old-fashioned variety of mint. It's the mint that grew at my family home & which my dad used to make into wonderful mint sauce as he had the patience to chop the leaves very finely. So it reminds me of family & our traditional roast dinners on Sundays. I brought this plant from the original when I moved to my present home - a treasured memento.
The Denver Mint is the largest producer of coins in the world. It opened in 1906, and coins minted there contain the "D" mint mark.
I exchanged a few wrinkled dollar bills for some shiny, brand new quarters, commemorating America's 250th.

Another test to see if the background works. this one is closer than the last - I just need to work on the lighting.
Anyway the image is mint flowering, from the garden (but shot indoors!)

As well as the butterflies I saw several of these small moths - more in fact than I saw grizzled skippers.
I was delighted to get it on a daisy both as a setting and as an indication of their size.
I finally saw my first green hairstreak of the year today but it didn't stop long enough for me to get a photo.
"Looking close on Friday" "BOX".. 1964 Mini Cooper S. If only it was full size and in just as good condition, you would probably then be looking at £50,000 worth of Classic British Motorcar.
Explored ...
This is a wasp drinking nectar from my Mint garden. I guess he has a date later and he thinks he'll get lucky! LOL ..
This is a old picture I took. I did upload a different copy and I had few other angle of this guy drinking Mint for that Minty Fresh breath ... :)
Wasp eats Bees! Usually they are after those Bee hives where they can gorge on those Larvae, so they traps bees by waiting for them at location (e.g. Flowers) and put some sort of faramon on the bee which acts as radar detector for the Wasp to locate the hive .. .now isn't that clever? So I assume this guy was just faking it, and waiting for a poor bee who will bring doom for the colony!
Ragwort may not be good for horses, but it is an absolute magnet for butterflies and other insects in the sunshine.
Spotted heading northbound at Brno Královo Pole in April 2023, IDS Cargo 365 003 [ex-Belgian Class 12] was at the business end of a rake of mint Ermewa [F-ERSA] registered Sggmrss 90' container flats.
