While people argue...✨💛🖤✨

Sun beetle (Pachnoda marginata peregrina) and Zophobas (Zophobas morio).

When I see them like this, I wonder what's going on in their heads.

How do others perceive the world? You never know. This applies to other people as well as to animals. The more egocentric you are, the more inclined you are to draw conclusions about others. But consciousness is one of the greatest mysteries. The fact that you cannot immerse yourself in the world of experiences of others is called qualia.

Qualia refer to the subjective, individual experiences of sensory perceptions and consciousness.

Qualia are inherently personal and cannot be fully communicated or understood by others.

This means there is no way of knowing what exactly is going on inside these cuties.

I suspect these beetles are trying to understand each other. At least their intentions. That's why they touch each other with their feelers.

But maybe it feels especially good when they do that. Similar to when people touch each other tenderly.

The Friedenslinde (Peace Linden) 🌳

Green is the color of hope. I can still remember the first time I heard that saying. I was asked to choose the color for a game called "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht!" (Man, Don't Get Angry!) and I chose green. I didn't win.

Still, I stuck with this color. Because you should never give up hope.

Last June, this blossom of the Friedenslinde (Peace Linden) danced in the gentle summer breeze hanging by a thread.

Nothing is as constant as eternal change. Perfection is a state that cannot be attained, but must be striven for. Form follows function.

Merry Christmas from my 21 year old me!✨🐣🎄✨
I'm Santa, Bruce Willis... and an angel. 😇

My 35 year old wishes you a Merry Christmas too! May the spirit of love and harmony be with you!❤️✌️✨

Back then I loved to create such compositions with Photoshop. There are many more like this, for example of me as a robot, a lizard and a naked mole rat on space vacation. But I don't think I'll show you. Better let your imagination run wild.😋
