A few Wednesday pictures

It is so beautiful today, the sun fills the garden with dusty light and I see busy spiders working away, last crickets ringing out the summer. I found a dead dragonfly with fragile transparent wings, so delicate. Do they live longer than one year?
Maybe they have just that one summer?


It's like a metaphor to use the given time! Carpe diem!

I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the hummingbird, we have seen a pair over the summer regularly in our honeysuckle bush and this was a rare chance to get a picture, a pitty though, the wings cover her beautiful head and long beak. I guess its the female, her partner has a very colorful body.
On such occasions I wish I had a more professional camera...



I welcome those cooler, quieter days, mornings with children on their way to school. And afternoons for tea!



I hope you all enjoy the days ahaed!
