PHOTO-A-DAY CHALLENGE

Summer Happiness Comes in a Bicycle Basket

Week 43 of the photographic documentary of my daily life

I have always been fascinated by art. But even more, when an artwork has been created in or with nature. There is just something soothing and magical about making art in nature.

And that is exactly why I love these old bicycles in our village. There are four or five of them at different corners and all of them have a basket filled with flowers. According to the season, the flowers will get replaced and changed.

The bicycles are clearly old and haven’t been used in decades. Painted in different colors and decorated with nature they now have a purpose again.

Raindrops are what describe not only today but this entire month the most. I do not ever remember having such a wet May like this year. It’s great for nature. March and April have been too dry, so all this rainfall was rather welcoming.

This picture was taken at the airport after we stopped jumping. We still had some jumps to do but the weather had different plans. So we called it a day and quickly went inside to hide from the downpour.

Saturday started the way Friday ended. With lots of clouds and rain. But with every hour it got brighter and the clouds finally lifted so that we could work again and finished the end of the day with this stunning sunset.

After another Sunday at work, it was 5:30 p.m. when we finally got back in the car and hit the road. We had another 4 hours of driving ahead of us and were both rather tired.

We arrived safely back home and could enjoy the last light disappearing over our valley.

Poppy flowers. I love them so much. Somehow they represent happiness, lightness, and summer for me. Only recently I learned that there are yellow poppy flowers as well, just not in my part of the world. Those would obviously be my new favorite flowers since they shine in yellow.

This female bird flew across the road when I was walking down with the camera in my hand. She stopped on the side of the road, dropped the worm in her mouth, and tilted the head to look at me.

While I was slowly getting closer she picked up the worm again just to drop it shortly after. This worm must have been a bit too big for the common redstart judging by watching her struggling. Eventually, she took the worm in her mouth again and flew off.

(Thanks mom for identifying this bird for me.)

I ventured to my neighbor’s garden where I always find some flowers to capture and where I also documented the transformation of an anemone flower a few weeks ago.

And just like the last time as well, I stopped at the Anemone Pulsatilla and decided to take another shot of the withered flower. Then I walked back home, copied the pictures onto my tablet, and only now I saw the little bug I captured as well.

This has been my week in photographs. 7 days. 7 photographs. Anyone can join. Once of. Or weekly. It doesn’t matter. We welcome anyone! Dennett was the one starting this photography challenge sometime last year and many have participated ever since.
