My tiny garden pond

Too small for fish, but perfect for any kind of insect larvae, water beetles and birds who are visiting my little pond every day for washing their plumage and drinking.

Stone seats are included for comfortable wildlife watching. :-)

Flower Face

I like pansies.

Home made of paper

I found this mini wasp nest under a big rock. The wasp queen had built it for her very first hive members which were still in larval stage. After the queen was gone, I opened the little paper ball and saw big fat white larvae, each placed in perfectly symmetrical comb chambers, constantly begging for food.

I am sorry to say I had to destroy the nest but I honestly do not want a wasp colony in my yard.

Happy baby

She touched the green grass and couldn't stop smiling and giggling after doing so.

Life of Pebble

Born ages ago from fire and magma,

part of a huge mountain range

folded up by the power of earth,

eroded by time, rain and cold.

Spent millions of years under the sea

got washed up, dried out in the sun

found by a little girl walking along the shore.

Now decorating the edge of my garden pond.

What a career.

Happy Pfingsten!

It's not a trick - it's a Pfingstrose.

Little sun

Baby toys are so cute.

Pink sensation

Made for butterflies.

Black silhouette

Which way to go?

Orange Season

The people are cleaning their yards from weed, putting everything in glaring orange plastic bags, and lining them up along the roads for pickup.

Green Symphony

Life is what happens to you while you are making plans.

Horse circus

This is Gintano and me doing obeyance training in the corral. I wanted him to stop in front of the rod. And he did so.

Pre-work chilling

Spurs have to be earned.
