pollinator

A pollinator is anything that helps carry pollen from
the male part of the flower (stamen) to the female part
of the same or another flower (stigma).
The movement of pollen must occur for the plant
to become fertilized and produce fruits,
seeds, and young plants

In December 1988 I was offered

a black and tan kelpie pup.

The highlight of 2023 was a three-week visit to Scandinavia in June.

I have not posted many photos on my blog from that trip,

however, I hope to rectify this in the near future.
