On a short mown lawn, boringly green, you do not get to see these. The orange flowers are Hieracium aurantiacum, which is to my mind the most handsome dandelion relative growing here. It is also an endangered plant in CZ so we are mowing the lawn in a way as to allow them to flourish. There are only a few patches around where it prospers.
One of the many pictures that I have made during my holiday in Krkonoše this spring. Unfortunately insects were not out en force yet, so I only have a few macros. Pines and spruces were blossoming this year, so everything was dusted with their pollen.
I managed a short wander today, might have pushed a bit too much. It’s still something of a shock that I have so little energy to expend, and have to stop and rest so damn much. The dizziness and ocular toxicity don’t help. Probably not a good idea to go wandering with just Jayne for company, but he did good today, sticking fairly close to me. Slowly, things are coming to life here. I saw one butterfly and one wasp, desperately searching for blossoms, of which, we have none. Surprised I got a shot of the wasp, I was shooting blind, into the sun. Most stuff under the fold, click for full size.
