I just wanted to share a few photos that I’ve taken this week. I hope you enjoy them.
This picture is of a ground cover plant that grows in my yard that was broken off accidentally. It looks nice in the vase and I’m hoping it will root so that I can plant it back in the yard.

Here’s a picture of a ladybug that was on the stinging nettle plant in my backyard. I went out to gather some leaves for tea and saw the bug here. Usually ladybugs eat aphids so I figured the nettles might have some aphids on the leaves. Sure enough there were some clinging on the underside of one of the leaves that was in my tea cup. I tried to blow them off but the aphids would not let go of the leaf and I didn’t want to get stung by the nettle leaf so I ended up with a little extra protein in my tea, LOL. (At least no ladybugs were harmed)

On Saturday night the sunset was pretty interesting. The clouds were changing form very fast and at one point it looked like some rain was coming part way down from them. I like to watch the sunset when I get a chance.
Photography seldom captures the look of a sunset very realistically and I’m enjoying the fantasy look of the Google photos processing.

Good day, @lightsplasher (what a name :) As someone fairly new to keeping a garden, I'm happy to discover your blog, and the natural beauty that you share. Thank you _/|\_
Also, I know what you mean about the inadequacy of capturing the majesty of nature with a camera or, as a poet, with words for that matter... So very much is lost in translation.
But, we still keep trying :)
I believe there's a Zen saying that sums this up, succintly:
>Words are like a finger pointing at the moon.
