Daily Pics 2020, #76.

Some nice flowers from Italy supplied by my friend Rossana.

Good morning to each of you!  I hope you are all feeling well today.  I know that many of you are going through some tough times with this coronavirus that is traveling all over the world.  It is a hard thing for sure.  And many of you have so many restrictions as well that we do not have yet here in Canada.  But perhaps that will come for us as well.  Sometimes we feel safe because we live far away from the worst of things, but that is not always true.  Things like this can hit anywhere on earth as we have seen.  But worry and panic is not the way to handle things.  That only causes more and more problems.  We need to be concerned and use necessary precautions, but don’t please don’t panic.

And now for some nice cheery pics for this Monday…

To start with, some beautiful delphiniums and their little friend, an equally beautiful bee.  All nice and fuzzy, wings neatly folded on her back while she fills up with that delicious nectar.IMG_5007

And here is another beautiful little bee, part yellow and part orange, getting a feast from this bachelor button.  This little bee is even fuzzier than the first one I think.  And also enjoying that warm summer sunshine that is on the way!

There we have our pics for today, I hope you have enjoyed them.  And I hope that you all can enjoy your day in some way, God bless!

Daily Pics 2020, #75.

Peony bud, with ant.

Good morning and Happy Sunday everyone!  How are you today?  I hope you woke up with a smile and ready to jump into a brand new day.  Not quite so cold this morning, light clouds have arrived.  The moon is barely shining through those clouds.  I’m waiting to get a pic of the moon at a particular phase, but time is running out for that once again. Sigh.  I keep trying each month and each month it’s cloudy on the only days I can get the moon at just the right size that I am looking for.  I have pics of the moon at many different phases from beginning to…almost the end.  That’s the one I need.  I still have time to wait, but, the moon is sinking lower all the time and there is only a small time that I can get it in just the right location for what I want. But there’s a couple days to go yet, so hopefully this time I can do it.  Or wait until next month and try again.

Pictures of flowers are much easier to get sometimes and here are some for today…

These are a very delicate pink color of yarrow, found both as a wild form and garden variety.  See if you can find the tiny fly on this flower.IMG_4351

And here we have an old fashioned garden variety flower called bleeding hearts.  Don’t see them much in gardens anymore but a variety found in grandma’s garden for sure.  I hope you like these pics chosen for you today, have a wonderful day and God bless!
