Insekten sind bei Blumen stets gern gesehene Gäste.
Insects ensure the existence in the plant world. Just because they are not petting animals, we shouldn't neglect them.
This rabbit (and his mate) are our constant visitors. My dog, Andy, would love to catch him & tries often. Rabbits are too agile for Andy but he has a good time trying. ~ On the front lawn.
Squirrels love my yard... there is always plenty of seeds, nuts and other treats for them.... and this keeps them away from the bird's seed!! So everyone is happy!!
Spotted this Alien now twice in town in different places. But now he's disappeared. Someone was toying with us but I enjoyed it. He'd be in one spot for about two days and then gone. Gave us something to look for.
Since a few days this cat is visiting our yard. It seems he adores Miep, the cat who lives in our yard. I don't think this one is homeless.
Tow of many pigeons on my neighbours roof who visit my garden every day, I thought I would take advantage of our warmest day this year so far.
The light clarity and colours just popped, I liked the iridescent hues on the pigeons necks.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN SUCH A GREAT SUPPORT OVER THIS YEAR!
This shot was pure luck!
We had a friend visiting us here at our cottage. He was standing near to the window...which looks out on to the garden ...looking at his smart ‘phone...
I looked towards him and saw this reflection on our window.
He was standing near to a lamp and it was beginning to get dark outside ....
I happened to have my camera in my hand....!
This sunny yellow bird is a welcome summer visitor to Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada.
The American Goldfinch is a small North American bird of the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from mid-Alberta to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canada-Untied States border to Mexico during the winter.
Pictured is a "male Goldfinch", taken on south east Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada.

- During my photo shoot with the Inca berry suddenly a ladybird/ladybug appeared on it.
I'm still wondering if this small beetle travelled with the berries from Colombia to The Netherlands or did it (gender neutral, I didn't investigate ;-) ) wake up while hibernating in my home ?
This Heron often comes and stands on the wall between a boating lake and a wildlife pond in the late afternoon. During the day the boating lake has swan pedalos. In the evening real swans, ducks and gulls take over. Young's Park, Goodrington, Devon.
Adult male Pine Warbler stopped by my backyard while Bandit and I were busy sitting on the deck. Glad I wasn't napping :-) And yes, we had sun Saturday.
I've never seen their little spaceships landing, but praying mantises are clearly visitors from outer-space.

A female stands in water grooming in the middle of a small flock. While the males get a lot more attention, I find the females have a lovely subtle plumage, and the fall reflections on the water framed the scene well.
A larger group spent several weeks on the Lake in the fall, spooked and flushed periodically by Hawks and the occasional Bald Eagle. The species is a frequent fall visitor, and there are occasional northbound migrants in the spring.
A feature of the species that always seems striking to my eye is the short, beautifully coloured bill. It is often described as ‘goose-like’ and it helps them have greater pulling force on the underwater greens that form the core of their diet.
Only a dozen pairs of whooper swans breed here every year, but in winter there are several coming from the North for a milder climate

These bees were visiting the flowers as the other winged mechanical flyer moved past in the distance. A montage of 2 photos

There are several visitors to my garden every day. The bees are just one of them and they are most welcome. I did not realize that my Bleeding Hearts would be such a treat for them. My lilacs are definitely drawing them into my backyard right now. Soon it will be the lavender. The Hummingbird has been into the Bleeding hearts too but I haven't been home long enough to catch him/her yet!
Very pleased to see some Linnets appearing in the garden.
I have seen a male but so far only managed to photograph this female.
In this difficult time when nothing is as it usually is, watching the birds in the garden carrying on their normal lives is a huge boost.
The Elite, or Lotus Type 14, was the first purpose-designed road coupe from the innovative mind of Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars (1952). This endeavor followed his open Six and Seven roadsters and a series of very successful sports racers, starting with his first fully enclosed aerodynamic 1954 Lotus Mk VIII.
Chapman’s approach was always to “add lightness,” instead of moving to bigger, heavier engines. He achieved this for the Elite by pioneering an all-fiberglass monocoque with only localized steel reinforcement. The 1953 Corvette showed the potential of a fiberglass body on a steel chassis, but Chapman took it a step further. The Elite was entirely fiberglass, including its load-bearing structure. Suspension parts and the front subframe supporting the engine, bolted directly to three box sections molded into the fiberglass body. His advanced glass-reinforced composite body panels were lightweight and cost-effective but, more importantly, it was the world’s first fiberglass monocoque production car.
The curvaceous body style was the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, John Frayling, and aerodynamicist, Frank Costin. The resulting design had a low drag coefficient of only 0.29. Underneath was an advanced suspension derived from Lotus 12 Formula 2 racing car and used “Chapman struts” at the rear. You can see their tops poking up through the rear window. The resulting build, and combined lighter weight, gave the Elite a nimble, exhilarating performance out of its 75hp 1.2-liter Coventry Climax “Feather Weight Elite” (FEW) inline four-cylinder engine. 1960 Motor magazine road test noted its maximum speed at 111.8 mph with 0–60 mph in 11.4 seconds. “Speed, controllability in all conditions and comfort in all its aspects make this compact two-seat coupe an extremely desirable property,” concluded the road test, calling it a “mettlesome thoroughbred.”
At roughly $5500 with tax, the Series 1 Elite was pricey, but it was gorgeous and fast! Series 2 developments included an improved design of rear suspension, and a better body build by Bristol Aircraft. In 1960, one could option a higher performance, special equipment (SE) Lotus model, like the one seen here. This included a ZF all-synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, two SU carburetors, and a modified exhaust manifold. Altogether, the package developed 85 bhp.
The Lotus Elite offered outstanding performance, but it was expensive to build and nearly bankrupted Lotus. In September 1963, after a mere five years, Elite production came to a halt. Road & Track magazine even ran “An Appreciation and an Obituary” for the elegant little car.
Posted for the Happy Caturday theme "Visitors".
Apart from THE BIRDS Tofu isn't a big fan of visitors. At the moment nightmare visitor number one is my niece's baby daughter. She is only 4 months old and not really dangerous (yet) but both Tofu and Sethi consider her as highly suspicious. Tofu's typical reaction is to run and hide, He has several places where he feels safe but can still keep an eye on everything. One of these spots is the rhododendron at the far end of the garden.
Happy Caturday !

We really enjoyed our visit to this battlefield site in Oklahoma, and the visitor center was quite nice. The architecture looked nice there under those Oklahoma clouds.
The seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a stone wall that was constructed around the perimeter of Stanley Park to prevent erosion of the park's foreshore. Colloquially, the term also denotes the pedestrian, bicycle, and rollerblading pathway on the seawall, one which has been extended far outside the boundaries of Stanley Park and which has become one of the most-used features of the park by both locals and tourists. James "Jimmy" Cunningham, a master mason, dedicated his life to the construction of the seawall from 1931 until his retirement. Even after he retired, Cunningham continued to return to monitor the wall's progress, until his death at 85. While the whole path is not built upon the seawall, the total distance from CRAB park, around Stanley Park and False Creek to Spanish Banks is about 30 kilometres (19 mi).
