I went out to look at the lilies today and was lucky enough to come upon this Yellow Swallowtail digging right into the center of this Orange Lily!
Never easy to get a good a good shot of them carrying out their trademark activity.

Imagine if you will being a miner and listening to this drill digging away at the rock underground. Often these fellas had no ear protection and got all sorts of problems with grip because of the constant vibrations of the machinery
Sometimes I think photography is what strikes you at the time. You just drive around until you see something interesting.
This was one of those moments. Usually these are yellow to orange in colour.
Happy Saturday
Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)
The pair of Silvereyes have visited several times over the past few days to feast on the Loquats.
I am running late today as we have some plastering being done in the house. I will catch up as I am able.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
We headed to the coast early in the morning to search for bear activity on the tidal flats. Coastal brown bears (Ursus arctos), like this young male we encountered, forage for razor clams at extreme low tide. Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, Lake Clark National Park on the coast of Cook Inlet. Alaska. Conservation status: Least Concern
I was lucky enough to spot this fine Red Deer stag digging through the snow to get to the soft grasses below. You can see the snow being kicked up by it's front left hoof ..
My neighbor has a Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia Macrorhiza) that grows right near the end of their driveway. This variety of cactus is found in the Great Plains and as far east as Western Ohio, but I live in Northeastern PA. I was surprised to see it in full bloom, and a bumblebee digging right in to collect the pollen.
Thanks everyone for your views, awards, comments, invites and faves.
Wilson's Plover ~ (Charadrius wilsonia)
The Wilson's Plover is one of my favorite shorebirds to watch when they hunt. They scurry around at breakneck speeds, hunched over as they speed toward a meal (small crabs and insects) that is peeking its head up over the sand. Then they abruptly hit the brakes and pull the meal out.
Thanks for visiting!
We have just moved into our new place .. I will catch up when I can.

Taken in our garden a couple of weeks ago and just right for the Smile on Saturday theme today - Combination of Flora and Fauna.
HSoS 😊
Digging pretty deep in the archives... I thought this one deserved some new processing.

European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
With the weather still chilly, and although we had some sunshine around today, the only insects around were the Honey Bees. This one was digging deep into Kath's Rosemary Flowers.
The contractors have been working hard creating long trenches on the beach from Black Rock towards the Pier. I asked one of them what the trenches were and he explained they are part of the improving biodiversity plan (see below) The trenches are like planters which, once finished, will be filled with native plants, flowers and chalk land grasses. The trench area will then be fenced in so the public can look but not touch.
Male Hoopoe trying to extract a cricket larvae withe the female looking on.
No idea how they tell there is one there, but once detected they really go to town with a rapid series of ground strikes to extract it.

What a glorious sound these 4 Utah six motors made as they crossed the apex of Soldier Summit on a fine October afternoon. I was always a fan of this fine paint scheme. 10.00
Sometimes I take a picture of something which seems very appealing to my eye, but then the result on my screen is disappointing. So I try to dig into that image to find what struck my eye and sometimes something which 'rebuilds' that first sensation appears.
This is what happened in the passage from the original picture below to the final result above.
(Maybe someone might find a vague connection between these words and S.Heaney or W. Wordsworth)

A volte fotografo qualche immagine che mi sembra particolarmente attraente, ma poi il risultato sullo schermo del computer è deludente.
Allora cerco di scavare dentro quell'immagine per ritrovare ciò che ha colpito il mio occhio e a volte alla fine compare qualcosa che 'ricostruisce' la mia sensazione iniziale.
Questo è appunto successo nel passaggio dalla foto originale qui sotto al risultato finale qui sopra.
(Anche se magari alcuni preferiscono l'originale)
Suddenly I've discovered that there are no oystercatchers in my photostream on Flickr. So I dug in my archives and found heaps of photos. This is the Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) digging for some other kind of food on the beach at low tide near Tidal River.
