Male orange tip on blossoms of saxifrage in warm sunrise light.

During the shooting, the butterfly rolled the proboscis constantly in and out and moved, which did not make the focussing much easier.

Während des fotografierens rollte er den Saugrüssel ständig ein und aus und bewegte sich, was das scharfstellen nicht gerade vereinfachte.

At a time in my life, I would experience depression in the fall. The dying leaves and changes in color, and temperatures, were a forewarning of the cold winter weather to come.

Today I see splendor in the natural cycle that must take place for the trees to survive. The veins that supply water to the leaves shrink, to preserve the tree. Thus the leaves change color and die. And come spring, the veins reopen, as the tree gives life and blossoms once again. This cycle is amazing.
