Lens wide open

Gardening is not just weed and pest control (although it seems like 90% of it), but also seasonal food (strawberries, honeyberries and sweet cherries at the moment) and a bit of wildlife. Birds are something most people see but it is worth looking down to the grass and observe some bugs too :o)
Some caterpillar chilling on a strawberry leaf:

A scarce large blue (really, this is its English name...) on a salvia:

Herd of aphids on my broad bean :o(

Bee collecting onion honey:

By the way onions seem to be very popular with regular bees as well as bumblebees. The latter are too busy to pose for a good photo though.

These are certainly not a proper macro photos but I still think it is amazing what one can do these days with a smartphone (Galaxy S9+ here). I hope I'll manage to catch one of many jumping spiders that roam around in the garden - they are the best :o)
