I can totally relate - I have 1000's of pictures and could make many posts out of them if only I had time for all of it ;)
Those little creatures on your roses look like aphids to me. They can be back or green. Usually come at the beginning of summer, mulitply like crazy then their predators wake up to eat them all. Then they're back towards the end of the season again.
Love the ponies your dad captured. Not so much the ivy - I removed it from allover my house and fence when I moved in, but I let it in one place where it keeps the fence from falling over :D
No worries, we're going to find time to post them eventually. I don't know where you live, but winter is not a good season for photographing here, so that's usually when I'm taking out all photos and post them.
I know those little green or black creatures, but white is unusual, however, it may just be my ignorance.
By the way, these are not ponies, these are normal horse, maybe shorter than what you are used to, but not ponies :)
I’m in Europe. It depends on a year. When it snows and I’m off work for whatever reason, I’m outside daily to capture it. Most years however the weather is not very inviting to go outside. Like this week 🙈
Ponies are like a gentler way to say horses 😉 I saw ponies once in the forest. Can’t remember if I captured them, but I hope I did 😁
