Flying ants, screams and laughter!

Yesterday and today were particularly warm here. All of a sudden there was some commotion at the several ants homes in the garden. Large ants and small ants were fighting and there was panic!

The newlyborn ants that are fertile grow wings in a certain perio and fly out to go create a new colony. They all fly out in mass an at the same time. This is such a natural miracle, how do they know that the day and hour has come they will all go?!? Nature is full of these miracles. This little miracle also caused some uproar in the neighbourhood since there were ants flying everywhere and killingsprees began.

People had begun firing up the barbeque since it has been such bad weather, they couldnt wait and there they were the invasion of the ants. Screams of girls and mothers, feet stepping on the ground and fathers laughing. It was one great day for the neighbours and I enjoyed it! Hopefully there were some ants able to escape!

Formula 1 my painting

This painting (1x1meters) I made a few years back and with the season in full throttle I thought I would share it!  Watching F1 gives me the ultimate sunday feeling. Guess it is because my father used to watch it on sunday.

When I am in Italy the GP of Monaco is held that weekend. Just the thought of it being an hour away makes me excited about it. It is just sad that the tickets are expensive and well Monaco is a difficult city to get into on a normal day let alone during GP. I probably will go there a few days later to see the fresh painted striping and smell the rubber.
