Things Nona Saw Today

Just an intsy bisty side blog for random photos of cool bugs and plants i see, with a random sprinkle of good photos

[thingsnonasawtoday]

This is going to be a place for me to post all my random smol bugs, plants, sunsets and other things that catch my attention

Mostly i do this to make myself pay more attention to my day to day life as a way to distract me from anxiety!

But i also just love bugs and photos, and think that your everyday normal adult people forget how wonderful the world around them is and how many special things there are If you just look

For example the handle is an actual photo i made two years ago when a river flooded a but too much during spring, and covered all the young plants completely<3

Hoping every day could be this beautiful and carefree

Failing my own challenge and forgetting two days in a row! Ugh. Anyway, here's a very feisty baby

They've been hissing at me and biting me and trying to basically fight the hand of god with those tiny baby paws of theirs! I had to re locate because front porch of my summerhouse is NOT critter-safe, it's my cat's favourite spot.

Today's moments are the chance encounter and a tragic loss of yellow honey plum tree 😭

It's kinda hard to see on photo but 1/3 of the tree fell off under it's own weight and the weight of all the almost ready plums after our recent storms :(

A giant snail i found on the trail! It was very curious and even nibbled my skin

It's rare to find these guys during the day because we have such a hot and dry climate, but this year's rains must have made it humid enough?

Alao my silly dog, scaring all the butterflies i was gonna look at

Working today, so instead remembering the things i made with my hands - baking, growing salads and trying new form of art

A recent assortment of damselflies! Love these guys, there's just something so dainty and cute about these little monsters~

All the moth friends i made on my day off!

If anyone stumbles upon this and knows any of the species - pls help me identify them. Especially one with orange body grey wings!

Gonna start with a small bouquet I've collected recently!

Wild herbs and grasses and flowers native to my fields ~
