Rosemary herb

I've been ab;e to get out, but I did have a closer look at my Rosemary herb. I propagated it from a plant in a large planter, planted by the County council. It is unusual in that it has tiny lilac flowers, while most Rosemary herbs have white flowers. It flowers most of the time. A little like Gorse, Ulex europaeus, which also seem to be in flower at all times.

I just love these tiny flowers;













Tomorrow I might be able to get out and see what else is in flower. I hardly ever photograph my own plants; I rather focus on wild flowers.

Black garden Ants, Lasius niger

The other day, when I opened the kitchen(outside) door, a little spider caught my eye. I then spotted quite a few of Ants, destined on taking this food source with them somehow.

Thing was that the Ants were so quick, it was very hard to get a look, let alone a proper photo of the poor little Spider.









It being far from easy, all theml running about vertically on the wall at the door, I thought that these Ants would be there every day, so instead I focussed in on another little Spider plus a tiny micro Moth.
Just look at this intricate design.

And have a look at the markings on this Spider's body.
