Ah, old friend, it is upsetting to be so ignored, and it is indeed tiring. Of course, you were marching to a different drummer than those people and they didn’t want to hear ..........

Thank You James!






Good evening dear cacti-friends,

a few photos from today 4. August 2018 - this and that. . .
and thirsty guests, why my father was right again and that's why I'm not angry with him. . .

When we moved, the fountain in the garden or on the terrace was always ready first.
A house without a well for my father unthinkable! Yes, and for me too. . .

Hello K.W.,
as always, you have been posting some amazing photos! =D> I went ahead and downloaded image 206333, the one showing six honeybees moving about on one cactus blossom. I hope, you do not mind. :)
I also wish you well with your health and hope, that the physicians will be able to make you well again.

Hello K.W.

It would be nice, and I would really appreciate it, if you could send me a larger digital image version of the cactus blossom with the six visible honey bees (Image 206333 from August 19th, 2018).
I have seen two or three of our wild bees rummaging around in a cactus flower, but never six of the bigger honey bees. That is in my opinion a unique shot! My e-mail address is: haraldgrieb@gmail.com.
