If Caturday is a special day for cats, how could we call a day where insects are the protagonists? Little bugs...
π€
Maybe Bugday? Yeah, let's call it like that. ;)
So, this Bugday, the temperatures in Spain were quite interesting π. Like in an oven (now I know how the food we put in an oven can feel...), so if there were no air conditioner, the day would be a bit difficult to survive.
Even though it was nicer to be inside with that cooling appliance, we decided to go out for a walk or anything in the afternoon. To take a ride, actually, as my son passed the driving exam and got his driving licence!!! He wanted to give us a ride, to practise and show us how he drives! The young chauffeur did so well; he drove from our home to a place in the mountains. Then he parked and we left the space shuttle car, congratulated him and were happy to arrive in one piece at our destination. π
Already using our feet for moving around in nature, we walked among the reeds and many shrubs. The place was also full of Nerium plants, which were so pretty with their pink flowers.
This wooden board reveals the place where this Bugday happened. I visited it a few months ago and posted about it. Water is life, as someone wrote there, and indeed, lively nature showed itself through little flowers and plants while we were hiking there.
However, the main protagonists, as I already suggested at the beginning of the post, were the bugs. Butterflies and bumblebees, so many of them, but for me it was not easy to capture them nicely.
They were flying, climbing the stems of the plants and pretending to be busy, so I could not take a nice photo of them. π€·ββ That's life...
Oh, wait, I can make a little video where they can be seen! That was the solution. π

Btw, the air was so good outside, in nature... much better than being inside with the air conditioner. Even though I didn't meet any cats today for Caturday, I am glad these little insects came here for the Bugday. π

Well... insects are good but cats still better. Forever! π
Better forever, it even rhymes π
Congratulations to your son!!! (and to the parents π). That makes 3 of you to split the hours behind the wheel on long holiday trips π.
What a great name for your day!!! I imagine the work you must have gone through to portray insects...it's really hard..it's not their thing to pose for pictures π. Pero las fotos estΓ‘n geniales, gracias π₯°. Linda semana para todos, sobre todo menos calurosa ππ€.
Thank you very much :))
Yes, at the moment, it means splitting the car between three people. The long ride this year will be missed, as we will go by plane to visit our families.
Menos calurosa - serΓa genial jajaja
Well, maybe next year the long car trip will happen. Although it's no less true that flying is more comfortable, the car trip has its charm π. Espero que la semana haya empezado algo menos calurosa π€
Days are also very hot here, and Is nicer yo be outdoor surrender by nature
It is summer, time to have warm weather, right? ;)
Looks like a lovely day with nature. The brown butter fly looks really cool, I am glad it sat still for you to take a nice picture haha I wonder, is the purple one actually purple or just covered in pollen?
Yes, a lovely afternoon :)
The bug that climbs the stem that I hold? It was of that colour, something between grey and purple, and the back was black with dots. It didn't want to pose better haha
πππ₯³ Congratulations π₯³ππ

Good morning @mipiano, and already hot days here. No cats, but there was a new driver with a new driving licence (congratulations), proud parents, pink flowers and among other things, butterflies and bumblebees dancing in the bushes.
The video captures some of these moments in nature very well. Thank you for sharing it.
Happy Sunday βΊοΈ
Good evening @enraizar :))
I am not very late this time hahaha, just a bit. Playa time is over, dinner is over, it was a good Sunday after yesterday's Bugday ;)
thank you π
βΊοΈ See you tomorrow.
Buenas noches!! π€π
Loving this post, pollinators our flying saviours, and not a cat in sight gets a thumbs up from me!!
The best
CaturdayBugday post you have ever seen hahaha, without cats πspot on LOL!
You were so close! Be careful! They can bite you! Beautiful video!
Congratulations to your son on getting his driving licence and... it's true, summer without air conditioning is a problem, I hope I don't end up melting, ha ha ha.
And the cats? Oh, right... there were lots of insects, but beautiful nature too!π
My family had honeybees when I was young, and they won't harm you if you don't make unnecessary and sudden movements. I was just there with my phone, so they didn't mind my presence ;)
Thank you for the congratulations, he passed all on the first attempt. ;)
No cats - I barely see them lately... π π€·ββ
I've been stung by bees and wasps... and it hurts! How nice that your family had bees, that's great... I'll keep that in mind so I won't be afraid.
Let's celebrate more with your son then!
Yesterday, when I saw your post, I just smiled. This moment is so delicate⦠and I really liked the photos, but making a video was such a beautiful idea. Thank you for these minutes of beauty.
You know that I can't make better photos haha, but at least in the video it can be seen how many bumblebees were there. Also, so many butterflies, hundreds of these brown-orange ones and white ones. Thank you ,and I am glad you liked these nature moments π±
π Todo un reino de criaturas fantΓ‘sticas.

Todas las fotos son preciosas, todas. π
It's lovely seeing and hearing nature up close! Beautiful Bugdayπ video @mipiano
I am glad you also say hearing nature, as there were birds, frogs, buzzing bumblebees, so it was a natural concert for our ears. Thank you @lizelle π
