A wet spring and early summer have produced a bountiful wildflower crop to compliment the beautiful sunset.
Thank you most kindly for stopping by to view my work.
If you find you have a few words to say about what I have done they will be much appreciated.
My best regards to you.... Martin
Hraunfossar is very special formation, where the neighbour river flows partly through the lava ground coming out of the slope cristal clear and the same 3,4 degrees celcius the whole year round.
More on my real-time Monarch story. It's been just a little over a couple of weeks since I spotted my first caterpillar on my milkweed. From there, they hatched by the dozens, and most have disappeared by wandering off or getting picked off by lizards and birds I suppose. But a good half-dozen have successfully moved on, mostly to the eaves of my garage, to spin their pupae, stage 3 in the birth of the butterfly. This one is in the "J" posture. It's attached itself to a rosebush and now hangs for awhile, several hours or more, psyching up (probably not, but works for me) to spin itself into that pupa. I really wish this one well especially, as it's clearly in a photogenic location.
Made use of my low-pod and ring light again on this one. Also used my custom spray-painted sheet of mount board to simplify the background.

This is from my archive of images I have not posted. While I look for Merlin photo ops, unfortunately this was the last time I had one; two years ago.
Peacock
(Aglais io)
Big. Bold. Beautiful. This stunning showstopper is instantly recognisable, with its captivating azure ‘eyes’ and orange-brown wings. Widespread and common throughout the UK, it is one of our most-loved butterflies.
Taken with my Nikon D500.
Former CBQ GP30 reverses towards NuStar along Commencement Bay in Tacoma, WA using a BN caboose as their shoving platform.
They will drop the caboose in the small side track and continue on a few hundred feet to the industry. A tedious operation but it saves BNSF a few bucks.
Built as CBQ 974 in 1963, rebuilt to GP39M

Oystercatcher
Scientific name
Haematopus ostralegus
The oystercatcher is a common wader bird in the UK. It is a largish, stocky bird with monochrome feathers and an unmistakable long red bill. Oystercatchers can be seen virtually anywhere along the coast of the UK, and over 90,000 of them are estimated to live and nest in the UK. They are very noisy with a loud ‘peep-ing’ call. On the coast, oystercatchers specialise in eating shellfish, particularly cockles and mussels, which they either prise or hammer open with their strong, flattened bills.
