Finally some insects are out, even if I am no fan of some of them I like to see them as they should be there. The Humblebee is well known, they are here even if not the same number as "usual".
The yellow one seem to be Mayetiola in English or scientific language. In Swedish it is Corn moskito.

The longlegged one, Long-bodied craneflie, I found in my bathtub. They visit every year.

Last one is a favorite among butterflies: Large skipper

That´s all for today, I will go a bit north to visit my daughter and her family.

It is "Midsummer" day today and they are going to barbeque, so I hope rain is not pouring down.

Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend.

I took a photo of some flowers I got and when I looked at the image on the computer screen with the camera I noticed the pattern the screen gives on the image. This was the first time ever I actually liked it. Especially when I turned the photo into BW.

Banded demoiselle

Lunchtime

Banded demoiselle - Blåbandad Jungfruslända

It has been too warm to be out looking for critters. But I went to Djulö Kvarn, an old mill, where there are a small waterfall in earlier days used for the mill.

There have been two kinds of Demoiselle flying there. But the last two years they have been gone. Now, to my surprise I spotted one male of the banded one. Now I hope more will turn up. I took a video and share it below. Not the best one ever as it is hard to catch that small one, but it is visible and the video shows the place. A place I enjoy! It is shot with my phone, so a bit wobbly.

Today I will take my sister for her second vaccin shot. But it is hot so after that I will go back home.

Fun with the sun and the dragonflies

Click image to enlarge!

Well, had some fun with it. I thought the moon would center the sun but it came just on top of it. So, I was dissappointed. And my camera jusat can´t do the shots everyone wants to share. But that kind of images is easy to create in Photoshop. 😂 So, I played around. A girl need some fun, right?

I took the backgroudn shot and the two upper sky ones with my phone without risking my eyes.

The lower BW image was with my LUMIX set as dark as possible. And I made some PS work too. The eagle was seen that day too,

Draonflies at the rape-field, lots and lots of them

Hope everyone is fine. Kids are out of school for summer holidays. And Sweden is opening up a bit more now so people are quite happy.

Eclipsed or??

Click image to enlarge!

In my location it was just partly eclipsed at the top of the sun.

Well, my camera is not good enough to capture the suns partly eclipse. But I played along anyway.

A girl gotta have fun! Right! 😁

Cranes and ducklings

Click image to enlarge!

Common crane wit chicks.

This is what I got from the cranes. They managed to hatch two chicks and I could watch them for two days. Now they are out wandering the lands. I have seen the parents but the chicks are still too small and are not visible in the grass. This was a fun experience.

In another pond close to the one above I was very surprised one day. Lots and lots of

Mallard chicks and no adult visible. Daycare center???

Well, I did not have to wait long for the answer. A car came and stopped beside me. And a guy

saying, are you watching them for me??

I have talked to him before, he is working on the mansion that keeps the deers. He had released the chicks in the pond the day before and came to watch them and care for them. So, these are not "wild" they were hatched in a barn. There is plenty of room for them as there are very few of the other birds that normally stays there to breed.

Red-backed shrike - Törnskata

I was lucky to see this beautiful couple on one of my walks.
