The creeping thistles (Cirsium arvense) are flowering everywhere right now. They are very popular among bees and butterflies but I had never seen a cricket on it before. This great green bush cricket didn't stay put for long as the bee was too annoying.

“You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
T.H. White, English author, (29 May 1906 – 17 January 1964)

Last January 2022 I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and in the moment.
"Could be, who knows?
There's somethin' due any day
I will know right away, soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down through the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
Who knows?"
Lyrics from "Something's Coming" from the musical "West Side Story" written by Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, Stephane Audard and Ludovic Jaen Pierre Giquet De Preissac (1957).
Well I think something is coming, and I know it's going to be great. For finally, after what has felt like a rather cold and bitter winter, there is a sense of spring in the air as the days grow longer. There are more days of blue skies, the temperatures, during the day at any rate, are becoming milder, and the gardens around me are starting to dress themselves in their spring finery, like this old Kobus Magnolia that sits in the garden of an old Edwardian weatherboard villa, which I saw basking in the glorious sunshine on a stroll this afternoon.
Magnolia kobus, known as mokryeon, kobus magnolia, or kobushi magnolia, is a species of Magnolia native to Japan and Korea and occasionally cultivated in temperate areas. Magnolia kobus blooms in the early spring, bearing pleasantly fragrant white flowers with hints of pale pink about four inches in diameter. The flowers are produced before the leaves, as with most members of Magnolia subgenus Yulania. Young trees do not flower.

My lovely son Dominik walking against the fading sun. He died in October 8 2018 in the age of 28. I never can and will forget him. Missing him so much!
" Dominik, you will always be in my heart! Forever! "
There is always something sad about the trams, may be because they are like our lives: They appear from nothingness and disappear in the horizon of the crowds.

I don't wanna talk
I just wanna dance

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated !
A Flower
Have you ever heard
of a flower that never needs
Water, soil, or sunshine?
A flower that stays in full bloom
Through summer and winter
Through good times and bad
A flower that rarely gets smaller,
growing endlessly.
A few lost petals,
A little droop,
but, without a doubt,
it will always regrow
into something more beautiful.
I have one of those.
I call it Love.

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
