Every goose nest I revisited was empty...and there were goslings all over the place.

It's getting to be very slim pickings for the remaining Monarchs. Frost, freezing temperatures, rain, gusty wind, lack of sunlight...and almost no flowers remaining to enjoy.

 

And yet they still manage to thrive. I presume that soon the last of these butterflies will head South.

In her direction.

Well don't you think that's kind of neat?

Yes I ask you very confidentially:

Ain't she sweet?

Big brother is watching you.

The flowers of Aphrodite, goddess of love and symbol of Athens.

Oh what a heavenly scent but you will find after a few seconds of scenting it you will lose the fragrance until you approach the flower again for another sniff. This is because the flower contains ionine which dulls the sense of smell for a short while. For this reason the flowers were strewn on floors of damp buildings in the past to mask the musty smell.

The flowers can also be used to test for acidity. An acid turns them red and alkalies turn them green.

Whilst grateful for single invites PLEASE, PLEASE< PLEASE, I really DO NOT WANT MULTIPLE ones. PLEASE no graphics, spinning or flashing comments. They stress my eyes.

Walking bridge just north of hwy 41 in Gurnee,IL. I thought It looks like a scene you would see painted. All rights reserved. Do not use for any reason without my permission.

I also have a textured version of this shot but I liked it without texture too so I've posted both. For this version I cloned out some distracting elements and adjusted the light/color slightly.

From Rastaholm, Ekerö in Sweden!

Plum Island, MA. After heavy crop.

 

Okay, here's story. The snowy owl was standing in the marsh about 150 feet away from me. It was so far that my 400mm f5.6 lens was way too short. Then I had to attach on 1.4x converter for reach but lost autofocus as the result. While I was shooting using live view and manual focus, the snowy took off and flew towards me!! Without auto focus, I could only take several shots (including this one) and watching. The snowy came to only 10 feet away from me, picked up something on the ground and flew away.

 

That was the point when I made up my mind to buy a 500mm f4 lens. :)

The quaint little town of Marine on St. Croix is only a few miles north of Stillwater. Honestly, it's like taking a step back in time.
