Observing Grasshoppers - 20200831

Observing Grasshoppers
Photos taken by me on 2020 Aug 31 Tue
.
Every year after rains a lot of dragon-flies emerge from I do not know where and start flying on our neighboring plot. So since a few days I was telling my niece, who is studying in class-2, that I will capture dragon-fly for her to play and observe. Yesterday evening and today morning I and my niece tried to capture dragon-flies but as I silently walked near the place where dragon-flies were flying they moved away from me and out of my reach. After I found it a little impossible to capture dragon-flies I told my niece that I will try to capture grasshopper for her to play and observe.
.
By chance in the evening when I was going out of the TV-lounge of our home I found a grasshopper sitting on inside of the door of TV-lounge of our home. Quickly I remembered my promise I made with my niece so I went to my room picked an empty plastic box which I am keeping for this purpose and came back and captured that good looking grasshopper. After doing that when I went out of TV-lounge again I found an grasshopper sitting on the floor of car-park of our home. Again I went to my room picked another plastic box came back and captured that grasshopper which by this time had moved a little from the place where I had seen him previously. I took this second grasshopper in TV-lounge and put it in with the first grasshopper.
.
My niece was very jubilant on watching these two grasshoppers. Although she asked me why I captured these grasshoppers and not any dragon-flies she enjoyed observing them very much as they walked and hopped inside the box. Then she asked me to bring some leaves for grasshoppers to eat which I did. Plus I gave them pieces of some fruits as well. They took special interest in banana.
.
After playing with and observing the grasshoppers for some time my niece asked me to release them. I said OK. So I first took some photos of them and then we both went to lawn of our home where she released them. After that she kept observing there movement and when they flew away we came back inside of our home.

Following are the photos I took of above mentioned grasshoppers using my mobile nokia c1-01.

Money plants in our lawn - 20200817

Money plants in our lawn
Photos taken by me on 2020 Aug 17 Mon
.
Some years ago I made an idea of planting money plants in a lot of pots and arrange them together side by side in our lawn. So I started doing as I planned and planted one money plant cutting per pot. In a few weeks they all took roots and in some more weeks they started climbing the supporting branches I had fixed in the pot. Slowly and steady they all climbed to the top of the branch. They all together gave a pleasant and green and fresh look to the area where I had placed them. I take special care of them all and almost daily go to them for enjoying their look and feel and for checking for their health.
.
During monsoon of this year (2020) one day I observed that those money plants were looking very fresh and clean and wet and ready for some photo session. In one or two days, my idea of taking photos of those money plants became riper but problem was continuous rains. So on one afternoon as rain took rest for a while I quickly went to place where I had arranged money plant pots. Then I took some photos of money plants from different angles and quickly came back inside the home as rain was giving signs of starting again. I took these photos using my mobile nokia c1-01. After editing those photos of money plants, I uploaded them to different sites.
.
After a few days of above adventure I made another plan of taking photos of the same money plants with a better camera. So this time in one morning I again went to those money plants and took some photos of them. This time photo size and object details were far better.
.
There are other money plants as well in our lawn and they are all individually arranged among other plants to give contrast. They were all planted in different sized pots. I am only sharing photos of the money plants I described in above paragraphs.

Trumpet creeper of our lawn-20200805

Trumpet creeper of our lawn
Photos taken by me on 2020 Aug 05 Wed
.
Now a day’s climate of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan is very hot and it is very difficult to go out of home in open for longer periods, especially in afternoon. Plus because of CORONA PANDEMIC I am also taking extra care in getting outside. Because of these already mentioned reasons I am avoiding going to lawn of our home for some time now. But today by chance I looked at the front lawn from window of a room of our home and was surprised to see that although temperatures were very high but China rose plant was full of flowers.
.
This surprise made me to visit front lawn of our home in the afternoon because in the light of afternoon I had a better chance of capturing better pictures of flowers in our lawn. I was amazed to see so many flowers on one of the China rose plant. I took out my mobile's nokia c1-01 out of my pocket and took some photos of flowers of our lawn.
.
After tacking some photos of china roses I shifted my attention to Orange hummingbird trumper crepper. This creeper is one of my favourite for more then one reason. Now a days it is full of flowers so I took some photos of it's flowers also. Whenever I see flowers of this creeper I notice presence of many ants on it's flowers and a few honneybees and/or butterflies on it's flowers. Some times I also notice hummingbired howering over it's flowers and enjoying it's nector.
