Finally! My own chopper!

I got this little remote-controlled helicopter today and it's simply fantastic! I've been "flying" around the appartment since this morning, making little helipads in every room so that I can land the chopper for charging, and having loads of fun! I absolutely recommend this to everyone! :-)

A little spider among the tiny velvet flowers

We have a tree of heaven (ailanthus altissima) under our bathroom window and it's flowering for the second year now. Today, I noticed this tiny little green spider sitting in the middle of its net on one of the red blossoms of the tree. It was such a lovely scene that I just had to take a picture :-)

Mega-plant

This is our "Mega-plant". It has grown from a little bunch of leaves that were only about 10 centimeters (5 inches) tall. Today, the plant is more than one meter tall. It has little yellow blossoms and huge, soft leaves. It "drinks" about 3 litres of water a day.

The plant is called mullein (Verbascum densiflorum). The Slovene name for it is velecvetni lučnik. The German name is Königskerze.

This little bee was very busy eating her lunch on the lavender in our garden :-)
