Grass monster


Got myself a lawn mower a couple of days ago. Last year I borrowed my father's, but a man gotta have his own mower, you know. No noisy engine, just a wirring sound. Plug the cord in and off goes the grass.

Ihavenoideus unknowniae


Yep, I have no idea what this is. Probably going to be a beautiful butterfly in a while, though...

Coenagrion hastulatum


The coenagrion hastulatum is quite common and can be seen at most small waters. The small and slender body makes this a damsel fly and not a dragon fly. The damsel fly keeps its wings tucked to the body when resting while the dragon fly keeps them spread at all times. For your information.

Gonepteryx rhamni


The gonepteryx rhamni is spending the winter as a complete butterfly, not as a larvae. The ice yellow wings has a small reddish brown spot on each wing and is thus easily identifiable.

Primulaceae veris


The primulaceae veris is also called 'Saint Peters keys' as they look like a bunch of keys, to the Perly gate one may presume.

Beaver around


There are beavers around The Village. This can clearly be seen as there are traces of someone having very large and strong teeth chopping away on this aspen tree by the lake.


The beaver is a very shy animal but once I got my kayak in place I might see one if I explore the nearby waterways.

Convallaria majalis


The white and very beautiful little convallaria majalis is not for you to eat. Not at all as it is poisionus. But it smells nice!
