Oh Schreck eine Heuschrecke!

°

Amazing how many different bugs there are in the world. And in our garden,


Orange brown, enjoying our roses.


Hiding green in the orange tree.


And this fella, loving our roses, as well.


Just as I was taking the pics he had to ... shit!
Quite a bomb coming out of the insect - top photo.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

HEINÄSIRKKA = Heuschrecke / grasshopper


The tiniest Gekko I've seen!


Check the size.
The funny thing is, they alway freeze when a human gets close.


Beach walk catch.

Catch of the week as well: Nørdic.
Seen in the local supermarket, had to buy it. What is it?


Apparently big in the Spanisch market for mixed drinks.

Wikipedia explains:

Nordic Mist (stylised as Nørdic Mist) is a line of soft drink mixers produced by 
The Coca-Cola Company and sold in Chile, Finland, Guinea-Bissau, Luxembourg, 
Belgium, Portugal, and Spain.

Finland, really? Cannot find anything connecting Nordic Mist with Finland.
Conclusion: double check your sources!

The way Nørdic is written on the logo, with an O with a slash (Ø), 
pronounces exactly like Nerdic in Norwegian and Danish. 
This might be the reason why it never was launched in Scandinavian countries.


I tell you, here is something that origins from Finland:
KYRÖ Distillery.
After successfully selling their famous gin worldwide 
the guys are now producing DESINFEKTIONSMITTEL.
Yes, the label is in German. It was sent to me from Berlin.
Disinfectant.


Pakko leikkiä.


Now my bottle collection is only missing the new version,
for some reason the nema of the gin was changed from
Napue to Kyrö Gin.

Certainly I can buy it on line in Spain, but ... it is much nicer
to have it brought by friends who visit us from Finland.
After corona, naturally.

Tierisches Landleben

 °

Datenschutz und Privatsphäre und social distancing, alle Gründe warum man keine Menschenfotos publizieren kann. Heute ist es so. Also Tiere.


Luckily enough there are enough objects.


Am pretty impressed of the good quality pics of the iPhone. 


Country life can be hard for dogs, too.
This fellow had to get some stitches on his side
and was not happy to wear the muzzle.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

KUONOKOPPA = Maulkorb / muzzle
KUONO = Maul / snout
KOPPA = Korb / basket


OMG that was exciting!
A butterfly landed on my had.


Well, he insisted on getting into the beer glass.
Lucky him, got out of there as well, and flew away.


Beach view in Son Serra de Marina in Mallorca.


Amazing, these flowers were everywhere.
It has been very, very hot the last weeks, no rain has fallen.
My flower app tells me that it is a pancratium maritime,
a sea daffodil, in German Dünen-Trichternarzisse or Strandlilie
and it has also a Finnish name: hietamerinarsissi..


This is not a good photo, but better than nothing.
There was a dead sheep lying on our neighbourg's field over the weekend.
Yes, we could smell it. You recognize the smell of a cadaver, 
especially if you have had cats which have hidden a mouse underneath
a piece of furniture without noticing. The sweet, bad smell will inform
you that there is a dead body somewhere close. This smell we had over the weekend ... 
how  good for usthat we had some appointments with friends.
This morning the cadaver was taken away.
Grief.



Good location.
