To Jennifer and all of Canada Post THANK YOU for getting my mail through in this AGE OF COVID - Maintaining Perspective - Rhododendron Rhapsody© 2017 - On the hunt for pollinators and their pred...


Location: Next to the driveway entrance, Kiwanis Lynn Manor.
Please note that, to you, the video may seem out of focus. I am videographing the middle space, between the camera lens and the flower, to look for the plant pollinators and their predators. Those guys are very small and very fast. There are two photograph albums linked below that are in better focus.

You know that I delve deeply into dark subjects.  I do maintain my perspective by looking in the light and all of the beauty around us.

The Dark Days To Come

It is important for me to let you know that I also look at the beautiful, brighter, lighter, sunnier side; and maintain a realistic sense of balance and perspective.

Four of my other previous favourites are:
  1. Passion Flowers at Dusk [https://stangwebb.blogspot.ca/2015/06/passion-flowers-at-dusk.html ] - You will notice that some of the photographs in this photo study are quite dim. It was getting dark and I was hoping to catch some of the night pollinators: ants, bats, moths etc. and I did not want bright light to scare them away.
* Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility. For example, formaldehyde, which evaporates from paint and releases from materials like quartz, has a boiling point of only –19 °C (–2 °F).
VOCs are numerous, varied, and ubiquitous. They include both human-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds. Most scents or odors are of VOCs. VOCs play an important role in communication between plants,[1] and messages from plants to animals. Some VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environmentAnthropogenic VOCs are regulated by law, especially indoors, where concentrations are the highest. Harmful VOCs typically are not acutely toxic, but have compounding long-term health effects. Because the concentrations are usually low and the symptoms slow to develop, research into VOCs and their effects is difficult.
