Paradise


I thought I saw Paradise,
And wondered if I was dreaming.


I checked with a butterfly,
But it was busy drinking.


My lady has an advice,
The scene is ever-changing.


Appreciate while it's nice,
For leaves are disappearing.


"Hoppers' Snacking Enterprise",
Is seen to be opening.


It's the Critters' Paradise,
That I'm actually seeing.

--- O.N.E.

p.s. In case you didn't notice, there are 2 grasshoppers munching.

Nibbling Flowers

A few days ago, I found a grasshopper nibbling my canna lily leaves.
What comes to your mind when you see this grasshopper destroying the leaves?


To be honest, what came to my mind was 'green against green'.
If the grasshopper were to move towards those striking blooming flowers, then it may look more attractive.
(Did someone say Nuts!?)
Anyway, the point here is to be careful what you wish for because wishes are almost always granted.


As expected, today, the grasshopper peeped at me from behind the Canna Yellow King Humbert!
  

This time, the grasshopper definitely stood out among the canna lilies.


It thanked me for such delicious flowers.


It was however a little upset that I took shots from all angles including his backside.


It started to get annoyed when I continued clicking!
Can you see its facial expression change from being upset to being annoyed?
(Did someone say Nuts again?)
I am thankful that the grasshopper did not notice my spinach.

Advise for the Day
Be grateful for what the grasshopper did not eat.

If you enjoy this post, do hop over to my other blog at Tropical Nature Photos.
That blog is feeling a little lonely.
Be rest assured that if you Click on 'Follow', the little critters would not follow you to your garden.
They are quite happy here.

Bloom Day with Onenezz

I want to thank everyone who have been voting for Onenezz in the Digi Wwwow Contest. 
I was informed that Onenezz was in the top running 6 for the Top LOL category but did not emerge as the winner.
Thank you once again.
Your support and effort have been much appreciated.


I have been redesigning my small garden and here are some snapshots of what I see this morning.
Canna Lily with rain droplets.
Yes, it's been raining. Thank goodness!
A pathway has been created.
Lawn has been removed.
I am still looking out for an ideal ground cover.
Any suggestions?


 I love my spinach and am thankful that I have grown some in a big pot.


Goldee loves spinach too and just chewed up one spinach plant from the vegetable bed just now!!!


There are many sugar apples right now. 
Those tendrils belong to a grape plant.
The sugar apple tree double up as a trellis for the grape plant.


Thanks to my brother whom has been fertilizing my plants during his visit from Canada, the Thai Jasmine has more profuse blooms now.


The above is a firecracker plant or Russelia.
If I keep up with my brother's regular fertilizing schedule, I guess these will start cracking real soon.


These buds will be more beautiful tomorrow but I can't wait till tomorrow.
Today is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Hop over for more blooms!
