We spent the weekend with lots of friends doing little else but walk in the sunshine (at least, as long as the sun was up). I am left with lots of impressions.

When I took the first photo I was wondering why the bee was not flying away and I thought the pollen basket looked kind of dry but I was in a hurry. I saw the white thing on the lavender bloom and quickly dismissed it as part of a white blossom. But now that I’m looking at it on the much bigger computer screen and – well you see it, too, don’t you? It was murder! The bee is dead. It is a dead bee. The bee has passed on. The bee is no more. It has ceased to be. It is an ex-bee!
In honour of this bee who has shaken off the mortal coil I show the photo without any editing except for a bit of cropping.
And now for the edited photos. Purple is opposite to green on the colour circle – so I thought I play around a bit with the negative tool.

The wildlife in our garden is unexpected. I see through the window and I see the three stalkers


amongst the stalks of grass.
They are not the only ones in the green jungle outside.


But there is also the watcher in the grass – trying his best to be inconspicuous.

All those lovely birds up in the trees. … Except the last one … ?




Strange bird indeed.
