I see why you said female. Most individuals pictured in the link have big pincers!

You are perceptive. Without Josh organizing three kids would be quite a strain. Also in descending age order (13,11,10) right now the trip rates as torture, neutral, and great!

I always imagine that sun flowers are like a big crowd of people staring at you. You can stop, stand in front of them, get their attention ... unfortunatly, you will soon notice that some '' flowers '' are not even listening to you, they even turn their head in the opposite direction !
Hey, Joe seems to talk to a bunch of them.

Do you know why crops, wheat, corn etc ... have a smaller size when located on the edge of the fields ?
Same question applies to trees in the forest. Why are the trees smaller on the edges, taller in the forest center ?

Very good for health to picture a lot of vegetable in your blog

Possibly a female European stag beetle.

You are very brave and generous grandparents, and it's great that Josh is along to help. Between her junior and senior high school years, I took my daughter to Europe, where we traveled a la Eurailpass for a month. First stop was England, where among other places, we visited Windsor. As we walked past a travel agency, my daughter pleaded that we should go in to get her a ticket back home to her boyfriend. Well, we did last for the month, even though she acted like she was being tortured for the first week. Later, I overheard her telling her friends how she loved that trip. Kids, right?

You’re probably only saying that because you’ve already seen one this year.

I think it’s more likely a yellow wagtail. It would be pretty strange seeing a great tit down on the pavement.

Sadly it was not possible to get the helmet. It is way too big to carry on the bikes. Dodie

It really is good fun. So far Joe is the most dedicated photographer/blogger. He is very serious about it all.
