So ...

lions den
Today I went with one of my friends M. to the Zoo.
Our main goal was to see the lions.
and...one of my desires was...to see them while they were having their meal.
When we arrived to our surprise the lions were just having their lunchtime!
It could not be better than that...
It was as if being around in Daniel 's den of Lions

hoverfly
In my garden I see the last weeks, lost of hoverflies..(zweefvliegen)
they can kind of stand still in the air...like a colibri.
This one is a Marmalade hover-fly...
in dutch he is called a pyama zweefvlieg..or (latin name:Episyrphus balteatus)
as if he is still wearing his striped pyjama..and did-not change clothes after breakfast.

on one leg

robin on one leg
I heard robin tick-tick-tick-tick-tick...defending his territory...
or tickering for kind of for danger.
I could come rather close...while he kept on making his tick-tick-tick-sounds.
Probably is was not because of danger,
but for something else.
He pulled one of his legs inside...which they only do when relaxing.
he kept on tick-tick-tickering...resting on the other leg.

full color
This morning, I looked for the new-born ladybird,
to see if he was still there...
At first I thought he had gone,
but looking a little higher.... there he was.
He had climbed between the seeds of the valerian.
hiding...between the seeds, which had become little parachutes...ready to jump off.
Now he had put on his full colors
all his dots were deepblack and his shield painted in a bright-firy-orange.

dots coming...
first steps
newborn ladybird
When I went outside to check my mailbox,
I remembered the last cocoon of the ladybird in the Valerian.
So I checked instead the cocoon.
To my surprise..the ladybird had just come out!
He sat with large raindrops on his new shield on the other side of the cocoon,
waiting to dry and harden his wings.
It was such a beautiful sight..this ladybird with shining-thru dots..and raindots.

watchers at the gate
In my garden, just at the arch, when entering my garden
the watchers are blossoming.
I call always call them watchers...
because one of my friends F. gave me, years ago some baby plants.
she had sown them and on the seed-package the name of this specie was "Watcher"
Over the years the seeds have fallen on the ground and made even more watchers.
yesterday the sun was gently playing with the reds, making them even more brilliant
one egg
The blackbirds-nest is empty...(see also posts of July 11, July 07 and July 01)
The young have flown out.
I saw father blackbird flying with his beak full of food...to the conifer,
instead of flying into the ivy where the nest is.
that means the young are in the conifer.
After a few days now...I checked the nest to see what was left.
I found one unhatched egg in the nest as a left over.
