For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "observe the O..."
I've got folders full of shots of oranges .. they have such importance in my memory. As a post-war baby brought up with rationing of absolutely everything that you didn't grow in your own garden ..... Christmas was the one time we tasted a real orange! It was always in the toe of the Xmas stocking (which really was a woollen stocking!) and the last delight to emerge.
So there is a special place in my heart for the orange. And the most exotic oranges I can find are the ones with some leaves attached.

This twisted dried out leaf in the darkness of the forest was illuminated by a single sunbeam finding it's way through the branches. Hand held with a Nikkor Micro 40mm f/2.8 lens

a thousand words

which, when heard, produces peace.”

A peaceful and beneficial garden visitor, this is a black and yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) wasp.
Even though they have bright warning colours, these wasps are not at all aggressive like other wasps. They are solitary parasitoid wasps that build nests out of mud.
After building a cell of the nest, the female wasp captures several spiders. The captured prey are stung and paralyzed before being placed in the nest (usually 6-15 per cell), and then a single egg is deposited on the prey within each cell. The wasp then seals the cell with a thick mud plug. After finishing a series of cells, she leaves and does not return. The larva spins a cocoon and pupates. Eventually, the hatching larva will eat the prey and emerge from the nest.
Stings are rare due to their usually peaceful nature, however nests are aggressively defended.
Narcissus 'Twinkling Yellow'..Narcissus are bulbous herbaceous perennials with linear leaves and leafless stems bearing flowers, which may be solitary or in umbels, with 6 spreading perianth segments and a cup or trumpet-shaped corona..

.... the single light trail came from a motor bike.
In my village, the phrase "single file traffic" applies to pedestrians too. In fact, this has been an issue for many centuries going back to the time when horse-drawn stage coaches drove through the village on the way from or towards London. There was never enough space for people walking, talking or children playing in the street or, to be more precise, vehicles always had the right of way. Nothing has changed in this regard.
