Lavender Visitor

Lavender Visitor, a photo by Cobra_11 on Flickr.

Last summer I planted two lavender bushes in our garden. This year they're in full blossom and are regularly visited by different bugs, bees and bumblebees. This little fellow is a young bumblebee, who spent more than half an hour on my lavender bushes today :-)

Stag Beetle

Stag Beetle, a photo by Cobra_11 on Flickr.

This photo was taken at our friend's house. It's a huge stag beetle, which has been living by our friend's door frame for the past couple of days. I took a photo of the beetle with my mobile phone, but the photo didn't turn out that well. So, our friend let me use her camera (I took the photo so that her granddaughters will be able to see the beetle, too) and she sent me the photo. Thank you! :-)

Total Lunar Eclipse of the Full Moon: 15th June 2011

Total Lunar Eclipse of the Full Moon: 15th June 2011, a set on Flickr.

Yesterday was a real treat. I spent two hours on the balcony shooting the total lunar eclipse of the full moon! I made a total of 60 photos. Here are the three that show the main stages of the Moon.

Crocheted Hats

These are my mum's crocheted summer hats. She started making small ones for babies and then discovered that they would look quite nice on adults, too. This is the latest collection. The hats come in different colours and each hat is unique. They offer great protection from the sun in the hot summer days :-)

Google Guitar

I love the new Google Guitar gadget! I've already made some creations :-)

Kuža pazi (a Slovene song for children)
Marko skače" (a Slovene song for children)
Čuk se je oženil (another Slovene song)
Jager pa jaga (another Slovene song)
Jaz sem mala miška (another Slovene song)
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Jingle Bells"
Ten green bottles
Old McDonald had a farm
100 bottles of beer on the wall"

Yeeey, I can play the guitar! :-)

(I appologize if some of the rhythms are messed up, but the recordings could only be about 30 second long.)
