Love is....a flower so
delicate that a touch will
bruise it, so strong that
nothing will stop it's growing.

This delicate beauty was sitting one summer on a flower, and I found it so beautiful. I have not really an idea what kind of butterfly species this is - maybe a small copper?

The Eastern Amberwing (Perithemis tenera) is a species of dragonfly in family Libellulidae. It is very small, reaching a total length of no more than 25 mm. The males have orange or amber wings. Both genders have a red pterostigma.
The common name refers to its eastern range, although this dragonfly does extend westward well into the central part of the United States.
The scientific name, tenera, means delicate and alludes to its small size.
I found this one and its prey in my "Boat Slip" in Polk County, Florida.
One of the best nights of this beautiful trip to Utah. The delicate arch is a magic place, we got there at 1 am and wait until sunrise.
Posing perfectly at a slight angle, this is my third and last image in this Wild Geranium series. Photographed with my 105mm macro lens in our patio garden.
Have a great weekend, everyone...
This is obviously Delicate Arch. The most photographed arch on the planet. I think that every photographer would like to stand under it at least once in his or her lifetime. This was shot on the evening of day 4 of the Southwest Tour.
Wayne and I decided to head up there despite his reservations about the rumored scene, usually packed with people around the arch preventing a clean shot. He was quite right about the scene. We were hearing stories about the scene before we had even arrived, people were telling us that there were camera crews from the BBC shooting time-lapse videos. Immediately I had a bad feeling, after some time we did arrive in the bowl that surrounds the arch and It was quite busy, even at 10:00pm. The first comment I heard walking into view of everybody was, "I'll be shooting time-lapse from 10-12pm don't plan on doing anything with it. Great I thought to myself, Wayne was right, but we just shrugged it off and and found an acceptable spot to set-up. We went about our business setting up tripods and such when another photographer above us spoke up saying that he had the arch for his light painting technique, which fired up the cameraman from the BBC and he told the guy what-for if you know what I mean. The other broke into a full blown tirade that echoed around the whole bowl including some choice profanities and about how he has a gallery and has been waiting 4 days for this shot. Meantime while these guys were arguing I snuck around the far bowl and set-up one of my light panels and aimed it right at the backside of the arch. When I turned it on I immediately heard some oohs and awes of support from several of the photographers looking through their viewfinders. Then wayne set-up a mini lantern in the foreground, and again we heard noises of acceptance, This aggravated the upper photographer because he was losing control of the mob which were all happy with what we were setting up. Then Wayne says, it's not enough, we need another light from down the cliff on the far back side and then proceeded to pull out a fishing pool. I thought he was losing it, what are you doing with a fishing pool. He attached another smaller panel to it and "fished" it over the edge into the darkness. After some finessing he managed to get it pointed up under the arch and again we heard 'ya that's it don't move it' from the BBC guy. Tempers flared again and I spoke up saying that "we are all adults here trying to get the same shot so lets get along. After talking with the upper guy we decided that at 10:30 we would shut off our panels so that he could do his thing which was random light painting. We had setup a constant lighting scenario which is much better as it allows consistency throughout a series of photos say for a panorama. We did our thing and everybody shot our set-up except upper camera guy. I told him if he switched to a really cool white balance he might like what he sees and he did, When I went to shut off the panels he said we could leave them on while he did his painting, I think he liked what he saw through his viewfinder as well.
When we were done, Wayne and I started to wrap up our gear when the loud upper camera guy asked if he could walk out with us, at 12:00 am in the dark. I was alarmed to say the least, as we headed off down the trail back to the cars, he apologized for his behavior as we walked, and after talking with him for some time I could see his point of view. I'm just glad it all worked out, and as a side bonus the BBC filmed Wayne and I running around the arch setting up the lights. That's they're camera in the foreground.
For more about the story see Wayne's commentary below.

we’re all a bit raw: our insides are on our outsides; our edges meet other’s edges. this complex, messy world impacts our delicate, beautiful heart. and still, there’s hope. there’s goodness within us and around us, even in difficulty (perhaps especially in the difficulty).
we needn’t bare our hearts to the world. yet we can open up (to ourselves or a loved one). we can reach out to others (give or receive). we can embrace—or at least tolerate—this one wondrous, wild, and precious life.
You can view Delicate Arch from upper viewing point, which is about a half mile hike up a hill. Well worth the climb, especially if you're unable to make it up to Delicate Arch itself. The arch is one of the main and most popular of the attractions at this park. The rangers allow you to walk onto the slickrock as long as you do not walk on non-rock surfaces. Sun down time, ended onto a plateau where the arch appeared almost like a vision on top of the cliffs, the deep cliffs under my foot…
I posted a photo yesterday, this one is in a bit different view, you can see the tiny Delicate Arch far away in the meddle of the photo… Most people ended up at viewpoint, could not see this view, it took a bit effort to climb to this location, few people did it, you can see three people sitting and waiting for the sunset on the edge of cliffs... Not long after taking this photo, it started raining, no real sunset...
One of a group of musk mallow (Malva moschata) flowers growing in lush green foliage just above the creek bank in Erba Park. Storm winds kept blowing these flowers around, but there was a lull in the wind when I snapped this shot. Flower ID: PlantNet.org. [SNY07382_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
It's at about this time of year I'd head over to local wildlife reserves or country parks to look for these little beauties, but for now I'll be satisfied with my archives.
This one might not be the bright blue that is so eye-catching (I'm not sure if it's an immature damselfly?), but I loved how its wings look like the most delicate stained glass.
I'm enjoying playing with textures at the moment too :)
