I'd definitely go back to Back Beach, which forms part of the Paritutu Centennial Park on the outskirts of New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was blowing a gale on this evening, making it tough to keep the camera steady and the lens clear of sea spray! Loads of interesting rock formations, especially at low tide.
About the length and diameter of the first two bones in your little finger, a tiny Snowberry Clearwing Moth backs out of a Bee Balm floret after sampling its sweet nectar. These creatures are amazing as they go about their business with stealth and precision. And... they fly FAST.
Tired of dancing at night, perhaps elves nestle in the heather blossoms and admire the foggy sunrise already half asleep.
Vom nächtlichen Tanzen müde, schmiegen sich vielleicht Elfen in die Heidenblüten und bewundern schon halb eingeschlafen den nebligen Sonnenaufgang.
Been meaning to try one of these in Brecon or the beach for agers now just havent had the opportunity yet with conditions and work :/ hopefully soon! But i liked the way this one worked out the street lights in front of my house lit up the trees just enough, this was taken for about 2-3 hours i think.
Sorry I have been a bit lacking in comments last week hoping to have a good catch up on recent images now.

ثنتين عندي من نوادر طبوعي***للطير قدر وللمناعير تقديـر
اقدره تقدير طيـب ربوعـي***وبرفقته مامل طول المشاوير
Palouse, can’t wait to go back, these fields pinpointed by farmhouses and barns enveloped in that mood of peacefulness, nostalgia and a bit of loneliness.

Subalpine fir (native to high altitudes)
With floods on the way, I dived back to my first digital camera and a hike in Alaska. I shot a number of these. About as shot.
We don't have to evacuate, but some roads are closing. The emergency text system worked well last night. Stay safe, everyone, from omicron, floodwaters, and other dangers.
It took so long time with this boat but now i am back!

I wasn't going to upload another shot from that flowery set, but as I had some time to kill, I started playing around with them and ended up with this one... I loved how it turned out and thought I'd share ;D
Big smiles everyone :)))
Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Back on black button on my new(ish) coat, must admit I tend to go for coats that have cool details like this!
I was going to go for a less obvious choice, but I like subjects like this too much! Bit of a challenge to get the highlights vs shadow balanced on this one.
HMM! Button

A male Eastern Bluebird with a spider in his beak, looks back to see if it safe before flying over to the Bluebird box to feed his young. The male and female take turns feeding.

The vista from my back porch of Kitt Peak Observatory in southern Arizona, with lightning, storm clouds and Crepuscular rays.
Black-backed Puffback has one of the more distinctive of the bird calls heard when visiting subtropical or tropical dry forests and dry savanna areas of Southern-Africa. An interesting fact is that the scientific binomial for the Black-backed puffback is Dryoscopus cubla; Dryoscopus from the Greek for “a watcher from the trees” and cubla which derives from a Hottentot word of obscure meaning, but the word is pronounced with an initial click that is said to imitate the bird’s distinctive call.
They feed mainly on insects, but also on fruit, and do most of their feeding in the upper canopy where they glean insects from leaves and branches.
