Leafhoppers on a Rhododendron? I think it´s a Rhododendron or?


I noticed these Leafhoppers on a Plant when I visited my Grandma and Grandpa in the Nature on their Campground in Salem Germany. I am not sure about the Plant. When I remember right, my Grandpa said it is a Rhododendron. What do you think? I am right? Is it a Rhododendron? EDIT: Big thanks goes to Alice… She gave me the Information that the Plant is definitely a Rhododendron. She also did correct me that the Insects are Leavehoppers as I thought they would be called Grasshoppers. Theirfor I was able to correct my Blogpost. I just did stand … Continue reading Leafhoppers on a Rhododendron? I think it´s a Rhododendron or?

This Insect didn´t want to be on the Photo. At least not with the Head.


This Insect did turn around while I did hit the Release Button of my Camera. Pretty wicked! I did turn around then too to get the Photo but the Insect did fly away then. I just thought “That´s unfair!”. 🙂 I have some more Photos with Flowers and Insects here… My Photos of Insects. My Photos of Flowers. Continue reading This Insect didn´t want to be on the Photo.

Raindrops on a purple Flower


This Flower with the Raindrops on it is pretty beautiful. I thought this Photo is worth to be shared.. Anyway I am somewhat unhappy because I maybe badly messed around with the color corrections this time. I think the colors are looking somewhat agressive. I am not sure. What do you think? You can find more Flower Photos on my Blog. Continue reading Raindrops on a purple Flower

A close-up Shot of a Bumblebee which is collecting Pollen from a yellow Flower


I did caught this Bumblebee in a great Moment. The Bumblebee seems to collect Pollen from the yellow Flower. I guess this is a great Shot considering that I did shoot the Photo with my low-budget Medion MD 86830 Digital Camera. I just increased the Contrast of the Image a little bit. Last Month my Mom took a similar close-up of an Insect but it was a Hoverfly on a Flower. I pretty much like those Snapshots of Nature and Insects. As always, here is the list of all the other Flower Photos we took and uploaded to the Blog: … Continue reading A close-up Shot of a Bumblebee which is collecting Pollen from a yellow Flower

Two attempts to photograph a Blowball


I did try to capture this Blowball here with my digital camera. I had to search the translation from german to english for the Name of the flower. I found some entries. Do you call the flower a Blowball or rather Dandelion Seed Head in english? I think the blurring in the background is a little bit to hard but I couldn´t get another result with my cheap digital camera. What do you think? You can also find more photos of flowers here on my blog: – A Photo of a Hoverfly sitting on a yellow Flower – This yellow … Continue reading Two attempts to photograph a Blowball
