Nifty nasturtium by Vahlenkamp

Flowers are the poetry of reproduction. An example of the eternal seductiveness of life. Is it any wonder we love them?

Drizzling dusk by Vahlenkamp

The darkness was about to descend, while a light drizzle descended. A perfect ending to a long sunny day.

Galactic game by Vahlenkamp

An early morning dew hung heavily on the vegetation. Spider Webs which usually are not particularly visible, now shone full of sparkling water droplets.
A wonderful interplay of water and silk. Yes, silk. I did not know it before, but it’s actually made of floating silk coming out of the body of a spider. These silk fibers then immediately solidify, and obtain a greater tensile strength than hardened steel (with the same thickness).
The other astounding is the water invisible inherent characteristic; Surface tension. The main reason for droplets not to burst, but continuing to hang. When one came right close into this unique interaction, it looked almost like a sparkling miniature micro cosmos. Fascinating!
But where had the spider gone? I’m not sure, but I suppose it sat hiding somewhere, waiting patiently for the droplets to evaporate when the sun later rose.

Just a minute remaining. A few seconds. I suck to me the power of the last rays of sun. Before darkness and silence descends.

Sober sundown by Vahlenkamp

Hurry now beloved, hurry to love.
The days darken minute by minute.
Ignition our lights. The night is approaching. Soon the thriving summer will end.
