... for a hot, but hopefully happy Sunday!
with this new dahlia / Dahlie 'Dahlegria Tricolore'
in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
(after a test run with my new irrigation hose ;-))
If you love these "symbols of summer" too,
have a look at my Dahlia Collection.
For the Macro Mondays theme 'Refreshment'.
Some people, when the weather is very hot, do like it to have something cold and ice-cold in their mouth, like a little ice-cube, where they also can chew on......not for me though ;-))
But it makes a nice macro, especially in the late afternoon sun.
HMM everyone
... for all of you who are currently suffering from the summer heat ;-))

Sorry for being off, but it's really too hot here, to sit in front of a monitor more than strictly necessary. Unfortunately it isn't even summer yet, and temperatures are already over 30°C. Even in the evening... We really need all possible refreshment! I will be back as soon as possible and make up for the lost time.
Have a lovely weekend and a good summer start!

It is quite well to toss one down every once in a while.
My heartfelt gratitude for your visit, fave and comment

Isola della Cona together with the Caneo area, is part of the Natural Reserve called Foce dell’Isonzo; covering a surface of 2,400 hectares, the area is located along the last 15 km of the
river Isonzo and has been recognised as best area in Italy for birdwatching.
Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).
Wo immer Ihr Euch heute befindet, mögen Euch die Erfrischungen nicht ausgehen.
Wherever you are today at these high temperatures, I hope that the cool refreshments will not go out.

And for The Flickr Lounge week 30 theme: jigsaw puzzle image
Having suffered all day from the tremendous heatwave here in Southern England I decided to do something proactively against sweating and find my solace and refreshment in this memory from May when we stood by the shore of this little Icelandic river which had sculpted kind of half pipes into the unbelievable masses of snow. I am sure you will feel just as refreshed as I did when picturing myself back in this place :)

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
Sorry to post another shot of Nev so soon, but I became aware this morning the there are at least two chicks in our Lilly Pilly tree. I spotted the chicks out of the nest on a branch but couldn't get a clear shot of them through the thick foliage. Nev and Mrs. Nev had been busy taking food to the chicks and Nev decided to get some pollen from a plum blossom that is not fully open yet. This shot was taken from our balcony.

Here's another image from my just concluded trip to Kenya!
This elephant was taking advantage of one of the few areas to get fresh water in Ol Pejeta National Reserve, an area in northern Kenya that has become incredibly arid in recent years as a result of our rapidly changing global climate.
