A most iconic image of Arches National Park. It was already crowded this afternoon, and wasn't even May yet.
Discovering this small blue butterfly delicately feeding on a wild purple flower, I was captivated by the intricate beauty of this fleeting moment. The geometric patterns on its wings - those perfect orange eyespots and precise black dots - reveal nature's incredible artistry at the smallest scale.
I chose a dramatic black background to isolate this intimate scene, transforming what could have been a simple field photograph into something more like a natural portrait. The contrast between the deep darkness and the vibrant colors of both butterfly and bloom creates an almost studio-like quality that emphasizes the subjects' delicate beauty.
What struck me most was the fragility of this interaction - two small beings perfectly designed for each other, the butterfly seeking nectar while unknowingly ensuring the flower's reproduction. These moments of pollination happen countless times each day, yet each one represents a small miracle of natural cooperation.
My intention was to celebrate the often-overlooked beauty of these tiny dramas playing out in meadows and gardens, hoping to inspire greater appreciation for the intricate relationships that sustain our natural world.
... for a happy and sunny spring weekend !

More anemones in my personal "from-spring-to-autumn" Anemone Collection.
Delicate profiles stand out in the silence of the evening, in a play of decreasing light, soft colors, and ephemeral floating clouds.

Delicate Arch as viewed from the longer, more strenuous hike to reach the arch itself with the LaSal Mountains as a backdrop....and yes, I did remove all the touristas as they detracted from the beauty of the scene; LOL!!!! Edward Abbey offers a pretty interesting way of describing this natural phenomenon.....
"There are several ways of looking at Delicate Arch. Depending on your preconceptions you may see the eroded remnants of a sandstone fin, a giant engagement ring cemented in rock, a bow-legged pair of petrified cowboy chaps, a triumphal arch for a procession of angels, an illogical freak, a happening.... If Delicate Arch has any significance it lies, I will venture, in the power of the odd and unexpected to startle the senses and surprise the mind out of their ruts of habit, to compel us into a reawakened awareness of the wonderful-that which is full of wonder."
Just uploaded a dozen and a half images.....hope you enjoy!!!!! Have a great Sunday, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments :-)

Italy, Venice, Lagoon, the lagoon is the largest wetland in the Mediterranean Basin, Murano, Burano, Torcello & Mazzorbo are among the best known islands in the enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea in northern area of Venice, the Venetian Lagoon.
The island on the lower right side is Burano.
Many of the smaller islands are used for agriculture, supplying a gran part to the farmers market between the Puente Rialto & the fish market. The market offers an opulent assortment of fresh seasonal vegetables, salads, fruits etc. & other farmers specialties from the Veneto region. Due to the short delivery routes by boat, the products are as fresh as they are from your own garden.
The salty lagoon water also is rich on seafood, fished here for an abounded choice of daily fresh high quality products for the "Mercato del Pesce al Minuto", the market near Ponte Rialto.
The market displays seafood in great varieties & of the highest quality of the particular menagerie of scaled, tentacled & hard-shelled sea creatures are on display at the market on five mornings a week. Freshest & finest quality is an obsession by the only less than 70,000 inhabitants of Venice,
The assortment of seafood differs from season to season & even can varies from day to day. Unless the fish is identified as frozen, there is a bit of those, obviously dried or salted, you may be sure that everything sold here is as fresh as it can be.
Except for the fish, including the famous, delicate branzini, or sea bass, that are farmed in the area, some seafood comes from the Atlantic,…but what does come from the lagoon usually sells for a premium local seafood & is labelled "Nostrano", meaning "ours," what is a standard term all over Italy for locally produced items. …how lucky they are!

Our next stop in Arches National Park was the hike to Delicate Arch. It was still quite early but starting to get hot - glad we didn't leave it any later.

lit by my 430EX to cam. right pointed at me (what im looking at) w/ shoot through umbrella at 1/8 power.
Found this in a huge abandoned elementary school. It was a fresh discovery virtually unknown to the "abandoned" hunters so it was pretty exciting to find it and get in.

One that's been waiting in the wings, so to speak, for it's moment in the sun :-)
Softly flypaper textured.
Most of the sunset was obscured by cloud, but an opening appeared briefly and the arch glowed. It was remarkable
Mute Swan. Best Viewed Large On Black The Mute Swan is reported to mate for life. However, changing of mates does occur infrequently, and swans will remate if their partner dies. If a male loses his mate and pairs with a young female, she joins him on his territory. If he mates with an older female, they go to hers. If a female loses her mate, she remates quickly and usually chooses a younger male. IMG_5772
I am going to be forever mad at myself for deleting this image off my flickr a few years ago.
I shot this image a few years ago when I first exploring conceptual photography. I love the simplicity it captures.

Often regarded as the most beautiful arch in the world, Delicate Arch stands 65 feet (20m) above the steep sandstone formations below. Delicate Arch is the most recognizable feature of Arches National Park and is an icon of the state of Utah. The Delicate Arch was formed from Entrada Sandstone which was gradually worn away by weathering and wind erosion over millions of years. Delicate Arch is accessible through a moderate 1.5 mile (2.4km) hike up steep slickrock and around narrow rock ledges. On the horizon lies the snow-capped La Sal Mountains which contrasts the deep colors of the surrounding Entrada Sandstone.
“A weird lovely fantastic object out of nature, like Delicate Arch, has the curious ability to remind us — like rock and sunlight and wind and wilderness — that out there is a different world, older and greater and deeper by far than ours” – Edward Abbey

Early morning view towards the Pic de Rochebrune (3.324 m) from the summit of Mont Thabor (3.178 m), Massif des Cerces, France.
Moments of soft lights, low contrasts, imperceptible profiles and, above all, total silence.

I'm still trying to get all of my Utah trip pictures up. Another from Arches National Park. I like them all. Summer is a busy time though. Glad I was able to camp before it got too hot.
I'm still in awe every time I look at these shots. Our timing could not have been better. I'll probably never see it that good again.
