I LOVE those t-shirts!!! And the black and white of Linus is stunning.

Guess who bought those t-shirts DH’s is ready for recycling now, I noticed he has used it so much that there are some holes in it That BW pic was easy to create. I took the photo above and changed the portrait setting in the native Photos app to the one that is called Stage Light Mono. Then I cropped away parts of the background

Night skies

experimenting with iColorama

I know, they look strange. Almost no light here. At this time of the year the darkness feels frightening after the period with no need for torches But after a while I usually adapt to it and the darkness will be just normal.

We finally got some decent real rain - about 17 mm over the night until noon

This is what I call a flower bed

Our dahlias have turned into a five star hotel. Yesterday we had the longhorn beetles in the white room and tonight a bumblebee checked in at the red room

Noctilucent????

 

[ubbyisis]

Noctilucent????

Yes, that’s latin for night shining. They are clouds very high up so they get sunlight even if it’s in the middle of the night. Apperently these clouds were seen by people in all of Scandinavia and also in Poland last night. I saw a photo from Norway shot at the same time as mine and you could see it was exacly they same cloud. Awesome, fantastic, amazing, LOVELY

Fabulous close-ups.

In fact I got so close that I happened to wake up the bumblebee as my phone touched it

Bugged nasturtium

As always I didn’t notice the bugs until I opened the photo on my iPad

So peaceful and quiet - almost surreal

It used to be like this almost every summer evening before Noisy Neighbours came. The only sound we’ve heard tonight is from grasshoppers singing everywhere. Magic Oh how I wish we could have it like this more often

native cam, no edit.

very strange edit of a wart-biter / a big bush-cricket sitting in the bush at the right of the ”tent”. Very dark inside the foliage. used iColorama and PTG

Well, it was BB according to my iPad.

 

[ubbyisis]

Well, it was BB according to my iPad.

I think they look quite similar but I don’t think there are BB seeds for sale here. Tell your iPad it committed a slight mistake When the buds open it will be easier to spot the difference. But only one opened yet - checked right now

Here’s Wikipedia info:
