A camera which I bought on impulse.

I have been using mostly mirror less DSLC like micro four-third DSLC and Fujifilm X-E1 in additon to the conventional DSLR cameras like Canon EOS series. I have bought a Panasonic DMC GX-7 on impulse that it was secret for my wife. This picture is the first shot by DMC GX-7 with M. Zuiko Digital 12-50mm F3.5-6.3.

There is a spiny shrub called Japanese Pepper in my garden. This is an aromatic plant which gives very refreshing smell when we rub or crumple up leaves. In addition, we use berries of this plant widely in Japanese cooking. Mixed with berries of Japanese pepper and dried whitebaits is my favorite side dish that is to be topping on a bowl of rice.

A small visitor will probably be Pale Grass Blue, but it does not matter for me what name of that butterfly is.
Most important for me that is to take a picture like this, and that is to be my most precious time.

I approached a honey bee within few inches from tip of the lens、but the bee did not fly away. She was absorbed in a suck of honey from cornflower.
Otherwise, I could not take such a picture by manual focusing lens.

After she flew away, I picked the flower and bit it a bit. But it was no taste at all.
She probably sucked all sweet from the flower completely(^0^)!

Thank you for looking in large size with full screen(press F11).
I wish you a happy weekend!!
