In the embrace of fiery petals,
a secret world unfolds.
Emerald whispers curl around amber dreams,
as if spring and flame have struck an accord.
A bloom both fierce and tender,
where the pulse of nature beats in a kaleidoscope of color.
Jutarnja gimnastika mrkog plavca
I leptiri imaju svoje male jutarnje rituale. Ovaj tamnosmeđi plavac (Aricia agestis), poznat i kao mrki plavac, razgibava krila kako bi otresao kapljice rose. Ljeto je bilo vruće i sušno, pa je cvijeća malo, no priroda uvijek pronađe način da zadrži svoju ljepotu.
Morning Stretch of the Brown Argus
Even butterflies have their morning routines. This Brown Argus (Aricia agestis) stretches its wings to shake off the dew. After a hot and dry summer, flowers are scarce, yet nature always finds a way to keep its beauty alive.
Could it be different generations, from grand parents to little child, the greatest protecting the tiny ones?
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

My grandmother always told me to keep my head up and look straight ahead. She thought I spent too much time looking down and felt that showed that I was not confident or something. I do look down a lot but it has nothing to do with confidence, back then I just wanted to see what I could find on the ground. As a child, I often found money :) My childhood days are long gone but I still look down a lot, especially when I am in my backyard. You never know what little treasure may be in your path :)
I look up a lot too, there's always a lot going on above me. I keep thinking that I will take a blanket outside and lie down and see what kind of shots I am able to get of the beauties flying above. There is swallow-tailed kite that flies just above the tree tops on occasion. I never see it until it's right above me and have never gotten a decent shot. A crow was chasing a pelican over my house a few days ago. I got a horrible shot of that but I thought it was pretty funny. Lots and lots of ducks fly over, I can only ID the black bellied whistling duck. One of these days one might stop in and check out my pond. Many other beautiful birds fly over as well. Looking up is always a good idea, but not until you look down to make sure you are not going to squish a little treasure like this gulf fritillary that was in my path or a caterpillar on a journey to pupate.
I hope your day is going well, thanks for checking in.
Another name for this plant is the Indian Cucumber Root. On our last hike on the local trails, we came across this wildflower that I had not seen in the spring before. It isn't often spotted and what we saw was in just a small patch. Last fall, I saw the berries it produces and reddish stripe to the leaves. It had a very different look to it. I almost missed seeing the delicate bloom hanging under the top tier of leaves this time. I am embracing my macro lens again. I do love nature close up.
I know a lot of people like seeing my nature close up photos but sometimes I just get tired of taking them and want to share something different. In this case I didn't have my camera with me but my phone and I saw this dog sitting in this 1980s camper and he was just chilling patiently waiting for his/her owner to come back. I had to take a picture!
HR:
Sljez (Malva) — skromni cvijet s dušom djetinjstva.
Uvijek negdje uz put, uz ogradu, uz zid… nježan, ali postojan.
I uvijek ga primijetim kad mi srce traži mir.
EN:
Mallow (Malva) — a humble flower with the soul of childhood.
Always somewhere along a path, near a fence, beside a wall… gentle yet resilient.
And I always seem to notice it when my heart seeks quiet.
FR:
La mauve — une fleur modeste à l’âme d’enfance.
Toujours quelque part au bord d’un chemin, près d’une clôture, contre un mur… douce mais tenace.
Je la remarque toujours lorsque mon cœur cherche le calme.
DE:
Die Malve — eine bescheidene Blume mit der Seele der Kindheit.
Immer irgendwo am Wegesrand, am Zaun, an der Mauer… zart und doch standhaft.
Ich sehe sie, wenn mein Herz nach Ruhe sucht.
IT:
La malva — un fiore umile con l’anima dell’infanzia.
Sempre da qualche parte lungo il sentiero, accanto a una recinzione, contro un muro… delicata ma forte.
La noto sempre quando il cuore cerca pace.
ES:
La malva — una flor humilde con alma de infancia.
Siempre en algún rincón del camino, cerca de una valla, junto a una pared… suave pero resistente.
Siempre la noto cuando mi corazón busca tranquilidad.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29

These are the gorgeous berries of the yew tree, in season now across the UK and looking good enough to eat. In fact, the flesh is edible and relatively safe ... except the stone in the middle! The stone, and every other part of the tree, is poisonous. Containing a cocktail of toxic, taxine alkaloids, around 50g would see you out! Though why anyone would want to eat 50g of yew berry stones, roots, bark and leaves is, of course, another matter ...
