A quiet spot to rest along the way

I am no expert on horses. In fact, my knowledge about horses is quite abysmal. But at the resort where I vacationed this year they had this mare and she was kind enough to pose for a few pictures. And I think she is beautiful.

Judging by the number of caterpillars hanging around the little red house I think the Bird family must be away on vacation. Maybe they’re staying down the road at the Welcome Inn.

A beautiful moth from Avalus. I’m pretty sure it’s a Hawk Moth, perhaps a Lime Hawk Moth. Spot the moth in the last photo. Click for full size!

I am terrified of snakes. Intellectually I know that most of them are harmless, especially where I live, but that knowledge doesn’t really help when I’m confronted with one. My heart pounds, I find it hard to breathe and my body freezes. It’s ridiculous, especially for someone who likes to walk in wildish places. So I’ve recently started to watch snake videos in an attempt to desensitize myself and I’ve now gotten to the point where I can watch a whole video without closing my eyes or cringing (mostly.) Why am I telling you all this? Because today I actually saw a real live snake and stopped to take his picture. I feel so brave. I took several shots, but I was a bit shaky and only one turned out. There was some heart pounding and I’m pretty sure I was holding my breath, but I didn’t freeze. Admittedly this snake was sitting still and not wriggling, but I’m not going to let a little detail like that keep me from feeling good. So now, I proudly present the first snake that I’ve ever said hello to.

One of our cacti has blossomed this year, one whose blossoms open only for one night. So I had to take the picture in late evening sun.
And as I was walking from the glasshouse, I took a shot of the elderberry too.
