I love the soothing sound of my computer; busily buzzing away as I surf the web.

Spotted this Branded Imperial (Eooxylides tharis) butterfly at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore, on 30 Nov 2019. This one was sunbathing, allowing me to take a shot of its upperside, which I have seldom seen.

It's important to have plants that still bloom in October. Lots of pollinators are still gathering nectar and pollen.

Our ivy is foll of flies and wasps and the Aster flowers are full of bees. They look and sound the same from afar.

2: Wasp on Ivy blossoms
3-7: Honeybees on Aster blossoms

Oh, I must show you all my prized Pumpkin Pi, that I grew a couple of years ago.

Yes, it weighed 3.14... π
I was very proud :D

#Gardening

Isn't it a little late for my #Basil to start #Blooming now? I wonder if it will carry seeds before the frost comes.

"Die Garten #Tulln" is a garden fair/botanical garden to my taste: They concentrate on #EcoGardening #Permaculture #DomesticSpecies and a year-round nectar supply for #Pollinators.

Offline for the #ClimateStrike. See y'all again on September 28th.

I might post some pics on Pixelfed: @paulakreuzer though.

We've discovered this wonderful little cafe just over the other side of the valley to where we live, and it's called: Beestro 🐝

They have, unsurprisingly, bee hives, a little orchard, chooks, and this totally cute little cafe, set in a lovely garden looking over the valley. The cake is really good! They also sell honey, honeyed-beer, and other bee related stuff.

The pic shows the view from the cafe over the valley, back to where we live. It is so peaceful there and oh yes, we are going to be regulars.

Beestro - ha ha!

#Bees

it is ridiculously hard to get a picture of a bee in flight at least with my setup but this came out reasonable great

Great idea for naturalizing outdoor #urban spaces:

The #construction of this outdoor #livingwall in the video was undertaken with the hope of reducing urban flooding in London.

"Two months, 16 tonnes of soil and 10,000 plants later, Victoria has just welcomed London’s largest Living Wall, designed to reduce urban flooding. Housed on the side of Rubens at the Palace Hotel, the 21 metre high wall covers a 350 square foot area and is home to seasonal flowers like strawberries, butter cups and winter geraniums to ensure it’s in bloom all year round.

The lack of absorbent surfaces in the area, means Victoria is prone to urban flooding but with specifically designed storage tanks, the wall can house up to 10,000 litres of water which is channelled back through the wall to nourish the plant life."

A Gulf Fritillary butterfly. A few weeks ago at the same gardens, I saw tons of monarchs. This time I saw a lot of these.
