Lavender and bumblebees - what else... Bumblebees are my favourite insects. I love that buzzing and humming - I could stand forever in a lavender field or under the cherry trees oin spring. That sound is so promising...
"Lavandula angustifolia" (Lamiaceae)You cannot imagine how full of life these plants were - it was just humming and buzzing - bees, bumblebees, wasps, bugs, flies - all of them in perfect harmony without molesting each other, simply feeding on the nectar...
"Echinops ritro" (Asteraceae)This is one of the most poisonous plants in Europe and its toxins can be adopted already via the skin. Famous for "Chinese" murders - but the colour is an incredible blue....
"Aconitum napellus" (Ranunculaceae)Today the Arte y Pico award was given to me by Strider from Life Quest. Thank you very much, Strider!
According to the rules and - because I love to do it - I am passing this on to following bloggers:
Deborah Paris A Painting Life for her inspiring and awesome landscape paintings
Jana Bouc Jana’s Journal and Sketch Blog who is giving me now and again a wonderful laugh with her vivid sketches
Lorelle Miller Lorelle Miller Fine Art who does not only wonderful portraits but vibrating plein air paintings
Mark Graf Notes from the Woods for his incredible talent as a wildlife photographer
Judy Olson Count Backwards for her unusual and extraordinary sensible photographic works
"Rosa" (Rosaceae)I cannot call a garden to be my own - not yet. Therefore I have to be content with looking at the ones of others. Well - my images are available through the whole year - isn't that comforting???
"A Garden somewhere"These roses remind me of the ongoing process of maturity of a woman:
"Rosa"I must admit it - I am a rose junkie. But honestly - each time I am working on these photos I have that lovely and incredible fragrance in my nose - you really can get addicted to it...
"Rosa"This reminds me very much of a Spanish Flamenco dancer with the robes flying....
"Rosa"I don't know really how many roses I have photographed in the meanwhile but each and everyone is different and their colours are always changing and again and again they put a magic spell on me...
"Rosa"Who would ever assume that these beautiful blooms are deadly poison? But also used for healing. Don't plant them when you have kids... they contain several poisonous substances such as Digitoxines, Gitaloxines, Gitarines, Digitalines and Gitoxines.
"Digitalis purpurea alba"(Plantaginaceae)Now look at these garden images - aren't they a dream?
and these images are only from outside the fence...
The flowers of the sun...
"Helianthus" (Asteraceae)
"Gerbera" (Asteraceae)
"Yucca" (Agavaceae)Another summerflower which I love very much because of their intense colours - gerbera.
Now look at the close-up - there are flowers within the flower...
"Gerbera" (Asteraceae)
