On a meadow

What can I say... summer, with all its goods, is here :)

Lazy May...

May was really lazy when it comes to my photographing. I think that this is because I'm... pregnant:) That is why I don't rush with anything now and I'm more careful with everything. Anyway, I did take some photos. Here they are (at least those worth placing here):

What I found in the garden... part two.

This time I want to show You a couple of bugs, a butterfly and a ladybird. According to Keith the butterfly is called Ringled Butterfly. Thanks, Keith:)

Bugs!

Here is a collection of dead bugs.

I know what You think... "you're a cruel person, Asia". For my defence I can say that I didn't kill them. They all come from the huge collection of my friend's father I was writing about in the previous post. He collects all kinds of bugs and insects from all of the world. He keeps them in the fridge and in show-cases on walls. His collection is huge and the butterfly from the previous post comes from it too.

I was wondering if You could tell if these bugs are dead. I know they are, so for me it's obvious. I think that their eyes are too mat and without this "spark". Especially the bug from the first picture. What do You think?

GOLIATH BEETLE

STAG BEETLE

I'm working on this one right now:)

Fly, fly little fly.

These are "my" flies that I met some time ago. And so far, they are my only insects that are pretty sharp and "detailed":) I hope this year will be more generous for me in case of bugs and other small creatures.

Memories...

When I was browsing through thousands of the photos from my honeymoon, I found this grasshopper. It was really patient when we had met it on the track and had spent almost an hour shooting directly into its face:)

Orange summer.

Summer has gone by but the memories will last forever.

Cornflowers

This set of photos has been taken since first cornflowers appeared on the nearby fields. I like the way the blue colour of their petals composes with the gold corn.

Green monday

A few shots from today's beautiful afternoon:

And at the end... a small friend of mine...
