So this morning while it was still nice and cool outside , the garden is always in the shadow in the morning south-west facing. Best time of the day to sit in the garden and enjoy your coffee .

This is my contribution to the #wednesdaywalk by tattoodjay@tattoodjay .

I asked the wife nicely if she would take some pictures while i was taking the pictures so that people can see how small the garden actually is and the way i take pictures . Above is when i was taking photos of the bumblebee and below is when i was taking a photo of the Dipsacus fullonum / Teasel / Grote kaardenbol

This must be the smallest bug i've seen before it sits on a flower bud and on the other side of that flower bud sits a green aphid alt

Here another one is sitting on a yellow flower still have not found the right name for this bug / beetle . It's probably a Olibrus corticalis but i'm stil waiting on confirmation.
