I’m spending a few days off in the Alps these days, if you are wondering :-). So I share a few wildflower pictures (click to enlarge) from the hiking tours today. Many trails were closed due the security measurements for the Bilderberg summit in the area, so we had to change our plans. First I thought it was for the G7 summit which is over and was on another alp in Germany. But then I realized that they did that massive thing (military forces, no-fly zone, mobile radar systems, etc) for that Bilderberg conference too. At least it did not impact us much, except using alternative routes, hikes and trails.

Hi Erich,
Nice flowers!
WRT green bugs they look pretty similar to some I saw in my garden (Bristol, UK) the other day. I think they are:

Apparently they are good for the garden!

Hi John,
yes, I have these green bugs in my garden too (or at least they look very similar).
They are good as they kill other insects which could damage vegetables or flowers in the garden.
