I usually don’t take photos of cars, but this one has a back story: a couple of weeks ago, a fellow photographer on Google+ had posted a photo of an old VW Bug and I was reminded of this one often parking in our neighbourhood. So here it is, the bug around the corner, even in HDR! :-)

And on the first day of summer, the first tomato flower pops open :-).

Chili plant, yesterday after the rain.
(The long stalk snuck in from the left, where the beans are growing :-).

It just occured to me that I had not yet posted photos of the yellow roses on my balcony, which are coming along nicely despite some aphid parties going on. This is the first flower, there are many more coming!

Okay, it’s now officially summer and the springflowers thing is getting too ridiculous! So I’ll call the series Summerflowers now, but with the same content as before: flowers I found somewhere outside :-).

While the springflower series still has some photos left, it’s time to start a new one with the balcony flowers! This is a flower of the Kapuzinerkresse / Tropaeolum, but I’m not sure about the English name.

A rose leaf with some guests… I guess this just comes with the warm summer weather.

They were really very hungry and shortly after this they got their eviction notice :-).

Ahhhh, that’s better – 21°C instead of 33°C now, but still very humid. Well, at least the heat has stopped so I can do some photo work without melting the computers. But first, more rhododendrons! :-)

That’s all what the green larvae left…
