Sunday Selections ~ Growing Things ~ Søndagsbilleder

No more spiders, but other creepie crawlies, and some who doesn't.

-- 🍅 🪰 🍑 --

Ikke flere edderkopper, men et par kriblekrabere og nogle der ikke krabler.

This one is not crawling anywhere, but can still sting. It sure liked some TLC, and rewarded us by flowering.

Denne her krible-krabler ingen steder, men den kan altså godt stikke. Den kunne godt lide lidt kærlig pleje og belønner os med at blomstre.

Denne her stikker til gengæld ikke. Stankelben er faktisk pænt store, større end min husedderkop. Her fotograferet indefra, så den står skarpt mod den lyse himmel.

This one does not sting. Marsh craneflies are large, larger even than my giant house spider. Here snapped from inside our living room, and a nice black contrast to the bright skies.

It's a male, females have pointy ends. Here with my wounded index finger for scale. Snapped from outside with cranefly and skies mirrored in our double layered windows.

Det er et han-stankelben, hunner er spidse bagtil. Her med min forbrændte pegefinger til sammenligning. Både stankelben og himmel spejler sig i vores dobbelte vinduer.

Dammuslinger - de er til gengæld små. De skal ud og rense vores gadekær

Duck mussels, these are small specimen, destined to clean the waters of our local pond.

Ude i domen var der knækket en snor, og det havde hevet et par grene af en tomatplante, så nu plukker vi tomater inde i køkkenet

A string broke in my greenhouse and severed a branch laden with tomatoes in different stages of ripeness. Now we can pick tomatoes in our kitchen.

And once again I'm making prunes from home grown plums

Og nok engang laver jeg svesker af vore egne blommer.

  1. Yet another delightful selection - and a testament to your industry. I hope your poor wounded finger is healing. Colour of the month?

    1. Oh thanks, heaing is hopefully happening below band aid and blister ;) River asked too, and she was not put into spam jail, so an answer is already there now ;) Thanks again.

  2. We have a type of crane fly here, too. They are big and harmless, and some call them damselflies.

    What a nice harvest of tomatoes and plums!

    1. Damselflies sounds like a funny name, I'll have to look it up. Thank you.

  3. The tomato branch is very pretty and so full of tomatoes. I like the photo with the fly and sky reflections. I like prunes too. Do you have a colour for September?
