One thing I love about my new surroundings is that it is full of life, albeit not of human, but of the other species that long have been missing in the cities of Metro Manila, coupled with the cool breeze of clean air, not to mention the different colors in my gardens...

I captured in my camera this butterfly as it sucked the nectar of the coneflower...

A bumblebee doing the same thing with this unknown-to-me flower...

A grass spider I found amongst the wild raspberries...

and I don't know what this caterpillar-like thing held in place by a single thread of silk(?) on an onion leaf. I have never seen these much in the Philippines during my adult life.
