Splashing

Pigeon bathing and splashing around

Fluffy sleeping...

Comma butterfly

Did not see him all year long, the Comma butterfly, (Gekartelde Aurelia)
Finally today he was visiting.

Bird flashmob

This afternoon, it happened out of the blue.
It looked like a flashmob.
It was as if all the birds had planned a meeting,
coming together in the birdbath at 15.30

Having a short big splash
and then left...all at the same time.

on high heels

Just for fun.

On my door sits a crane fly, (langpootmug) all morning.
When I open the door, nothing happens...
He stays where he is.
When I close the door...he still remains...just sitting there.
No hurry.
When I wanted to make a photo of this weird longlegged insect...
looking through the lens, I noticed he was missing one of his legs.
Oh dear..
Happily he has wings so no bother, he can fly.
Then when I looked better on my computer screen I noticed he was missing both of his legs....
They normally have six.

Full moon

The bottom one is the same moon in reflection in the water....

Web symphony

Spiders are not really my favorites,
yet, if you have a glance at their houses,
and the sun playing around...
it looks like a symphony in many colors.

more blush

Flower salat

A spider has caught a flower in his web...having a flower-salat for dinner.

Autumn

I still have to get used to the rainy weather
and that leaves are falling to the ground.

Moss 2

Same little branch with moss, few days later.

Moss

Little branch full of moss.

Scent marking

Every once in a while a neighbor cat or dog....
who can tell ?
is showing he has been here.

Woodpecker

I heard a hammering sound above my head.
I looked up, but saw nothing while the hammering continued.

Then my eye spotted him.
Mr Woodpecker himself, sitting high above in a tree hammering insects out of hiding.
I could see him eating a little something.

Robin in new dress

Compared to a few weeks ago,
Robin has changed his looks.
At least I think its the same robin.
Two weeks ago he looked like this.

I love it how his new feathers are so brand new and fresh.
and the old speckled ones sticking out a bit messy.

Autumn

The fruit of autumn has arrived.

The last couple of weeks I was in denial that summer had gone out.
because the weather was still warm and lovely, but somehow...
I felt and smelled autumn in the air.

flowers again

A few weeks ago I radically pruned the wisteria (blauwe regen),
because it grew tho wild.
Only 2 weeks later flowers appear again on the tree.

This is the 4th time this year, that it starts blossoming after a radical prune session.

crashed dragonfly

Today a dragonfly crashed against my window.
He sat there a long time on the ground, seeing stars all around.
I picked him up because Bibi thought it was a nice toy to play with.
He hardly moved, trying to flap his wings.

I think I could feel what he felt.
I twisted the other day my foot and saw all the stars of the universe.
Its not fun.

Drinking

    

Everyday, there are visitors coming in my garden.
The wood pigeons love to come for a drink.
And Bibi also loves it.

SongThrush beating a snail

Just when I looked outside,
I saw that a Song Thrush (Zanglijster) was busy preparing his meal.
He was having a snail for dinner.

Young robin

Young robins (born this year) have not a red breast yet.
They are speckled.
Later in the year the red dots become bigger, so that next year they are clothed with a beautiful red breast.
