Je vais vous raconter une histoire qui m'est arrivée un matin alors que je cherchais les cerfs aux alentours des bois.
Ma recherche ne devait pas être très discréte car un cerf et une biche m'ont aperçu et se sont enfuis dans les près, se dirigeant tout droit vers une cloture.
La suite demain ...
Bonne journée.
Merci pour vos visites et commentaires
============================================
I'm going to tell you a story that happened to me one morning while I was looking for deer around the woods.
My search should not be very discreet because a deer and a doe saw me and fled into the meadows, heading straight for a fence.
The rest tomorrow ...
Have a nice day
Thanks for your visits and comments.
The Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary is a delightful butterfly found in discrete colonies. Patrolling males can be seen flying a couple of feet from the ground, alternating a burst of rapid wing beats with a short glide, searching out freshly-emerged females in the surrounding scrub. The wing pattern, however, makes the adult butterfly difficult to follow in flight, it being much easier to observe this species when it is basking or nectaring on flowers of Bugle and other plants.
This butterfly, like the Pearl-bordered Fritillary, gets its name from the series of "pearls" that run along the outside edge of the underside of the hindwing. The two species may be seen together at certain sites, although the Pearl-bordered Fritillary emerges a couple of weeks before the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary and generally appears much paler as a result.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a previously published colour shot from September 2017. I just love how discrete the 40mm pancake lens is on a 5D body. It is pin sharp and a beautiful piece of glass for the price too. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend of photography ahead - stay safe!
C'était un après-midi d'été , j'étais à la recherche d'insectes
à photographier .
Je me déplaçais en silence car la possibilité de rencontrer
un chevreuil existait.
Une précaution payante ; j'aperçu le dos de ce mâle
(il broutait) avant qu'il ne me voit.
Discrétement , je me suis réfugié derrière des branches basses
pour casser ma silhouette et j'ai attendu .
Doucement il venait vers moi .
Malgré mon objectif macro , je décidais de tenter quelques photos .
Le vent cette fois-ci fut mon allié , son souffle dans les branches
des arbres masqua en partie les déclenchements de mon Nikon.
Comme vous le constatez , ce mâle s'est douté de quelque chose .
Sur ses gardes
Il est cependant resté quelques minutes à brouter avant de partir tranquillement .
J'insiste sur le "tranquillement" , il n'a pas fuit .
Une journée comme on les aime
It was a summer afternoon, I was looking for insects
to photograph.
I was moving silently because the possibility of meeting a deer existed.
A precaution that paid off, I saw the back of this buck
(he was grazing) before he saw me.
Discreetly, I took refuge behind some low branches
to break my silhouette and waited.
Slowly he was coming towards me.
Despite my macro lens, I decided to try some pictures.
The wind this time was my ally, its breath in the branches
of the trees masked the triggers of my Nikon.
As you can see, this male suspected something.
On his guard, He stayed a few minutes grazing
before leaving quietly.
I insist on the word "quietly", he did not run away.
A day like we like them
Armed with the Sony RX0, this successful street photographer is able to capture images quickly and with utmost discretion. His ability to blend into the crowd with a camera that doesn’t say ‘look at me’ is admirable.
I knew he was going to look after this, he smiled and I gave him the big thumbs up :)

The Andean Solitaire has a gorgeous song, often heard in Andean montane forests, but the bird itself is very difficult to spot, as he remains motionless for long periods while singing, often from a discrete perch.

Small Copper Butterfly:-
Taken at Roydon Common
The Small Copper is a fast flying butterfly that, once settled, is unmistakable with its bright copper-coloured forewings. It is a widespread species and a familiar and welcome sight for many naturalists throughout the summer months. This butterfly occurs in discrete colonies throughout the British Isles, but is absent from mountainous areas and far north-west Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Shetland. Most colonies are fairly small, with just a few adults being seen on the wing at any one time.

Dans les monts argentés, les marmottes discrètes,
Veillent sur leurs royaumes, entre roches et fougères,
Leur chant doux résonne, un écho de tendresse.
In the silvered peaks, the quiet marmots dwell,
Guarding their realms, among rocks and ferns,
Their gentle song echoes, a whisper of tenderness.
Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge is a truly stunning location in outback Northern Territory, Australia. The gorge complex is made up of 13 discrete gorges of which two are accessible by tours. The area is steeped in indigenous culture. The river is home to fresh water crocs and after the wet season salties (salt water crocs) are often found having travelled in to the area with the wet season floods.
This image is the river between two gorges.
Iguazu Falls stretches along 2.7 kilometers of the river and consists of 275 discrete waterfalls. Taller than Niagara Falls and twice as wide, Iguazu Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left a large crack in the earth. During the rainy season of November – March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.

American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Bartolomeo Schedoni (Modena, January 1578 - Parma, December 23, 1615) - The Maries at the sepulcher (1613-1614 approx.) oil on canvas 200 x 281 cm. - from the Capuchin church of Fontevivo - Galleria Nazionale Parma
Il dipinto era collocato in un alloggiamento a destra dell’altar maggiore di fronte alla Deposizione, anche se le loro misure presentano un discreto scarto dimensionale. Di fatto però questa scena rappresenta la continuità di quella precedente e l’ulteriore prova di una maestria esecutiva che Schedoni raggiunge, come apice della sua carriera, proprio in questa unitaria impresa per i cappuccini di Fontevivo, voluta da Ranuccio I Farnese.
The painting was placed in a compartment to the right of the high altar in front of the Deposition, even if their measurements show a discrete dimensional difference. In fact, however, this scene represents the continuity of the previous one and further proof of the executive mastery that Schedoni achieved, as the apex of his career, in this unitary undertaking for the Capuchins of Fontevivo, commissioned by Ranuccio I Farnese.

Persistance du vivant sur surface neutre
Cette image explore la tension entre l’organique et la structure. Les branches, plaquées contre un mur quadrillé, semblent prises dans un espace qui les contraint, révélant un vivant fragmenté.
Présentée en quatre vues disjointes, la scène se morcelle plutôt qu’elle ne se rassemble. L’ombre d’un arbre, visible dans un seul des cadres, agit comme une apparition discrète : une trace, une présence absente qui introduit l’idée d'une possible disparition.
Persistence of the living on a neutral surface
This image explores the tension between the organic and the structural. The branches, pressed against a grid-like wall, seem trapped in a space that constrains them, revealing a fragmented living being.
Presented in four disjointed views, the scene fragments rather than coming together. The shadow of a tree, visible in only one of the frames, acts as a subtle apparition: a trace, an absent presence that introduces the idea of a possible disappearance.

Lake Salagou, August 7, 2014. We are a Thursday. End of day.
With a strong desire to refresh with a dip in the lake Salagou
to end the day on the roads of pupils of high Languedoc.
Almost lunar landscape at this time
where only a light wind with us.
You will not see the lake but the elements of its proximity, treated like a knife to slice each detail.
The weather is mild, the sun begins its steep decline while white and discreet, the moon is already installed in its neighborhoods.
🇬🇧 Light seeps through the ruins,
touching what time tried to erase.
The air is thick with absence — yet something still breathes,
a quiet resilience beneath the decay.

Crazy Tuesday
Birds
A gregarious species, the Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is often seen in large flocks, though it also occurs in pairs and trios. It is an active, noisy and conspicuous species which is mainly arboreal, spending much of the day feeding, sometimes in a loose association with Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos. At sunset, flocks of this species are often seen flying high, returning from feeding areas to roosts in large trees along the banks of rivers or streams. They may be less wary while feeding than at other times, and generally do not allow a close approach by an observer, readily taking flight and screeching loudly.
Endemic to mainland Australia, Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos are found in all mainland states, with five distinct subspecies occurring in eight discrete populations across the continent.
A discrete location on Tasmania's North West Coast finds 1,400 million year old proterozoic rocks ripped apart by 8-12 million year old intrusive basalt.
These older, heavily metamorphosed rocks can also be found on the floor of the Grand Canyon in the US.
The sea here - Bass Strait - can get fairly excited so the exposed stone and fractured fractured pebbles become well rounded.
The larger basalt rocks may be from eroded dikes or have tumbled off the steep cliffs behind the camera.
One of my favourite places on the island. I have one pebble from here that shows the effects of four separate metamorphic events and subsequent quaternary weathering. I like to hold it when I feel overly important and consider my place in 1,400 million years...

This is the entrance area of the Bentley London Hotel. It is a 5 star Hotel around the corner from Gloucester Road Tube Station. My wife and I have just had a rather quintessentially British afternoon tea here. It was a Christmas present from our boys. Having discretely taken pictures of cucumber sandwiches and scones, I needed to try and find a shot I could post on Flickr as a memory of our day..... As we were leaving I was aware I was lacking an image......The toilets were very posh but not really appropriate so I took this as we were walking out the hotel. Hopefully there’s enough interest????
Just checked....The cheapest room they have available tonight is £349.
Thanks for visiting.
You have a good weekend......
Burnett Lane in " downtown" Brisbane runs between and parallel to the main thoroughfares of the Queen Street Mall and Adelaide Street. It is more or less a lane of discrete rear entrances for good delivery. It also features some interesting and varied street art with murals, tiny doors and this old wall that features much about the history of the man after whom the lane was named - James Charles Burnett.
Not much of a slide on this one - subtle at most - but a fair bit of distortion correction. (Photography prohibited so I had to be discrete.)

🇫🇷 Les petites étoiles d'un bleu azur
Dans les 🌳chênaies à charme🌳fraiches, des fleurs égaient le premier printemps. Discrètes, les scilles à deux feuilles n'attirent pas l'œil comme le font les narcisses jaunes que l'on peut trouver aux alentours. Mais quelle autre perspective lorsque l'on se penche tout près du sol pour se mettre à leur hauteur : ces minuscules fleurs d'un bleu azur nous remplissent les yeux à quelques centimètres du sol, comme le ferait un grand ciel bleu entrouvert entre des nuages tourmentés.

Taxco (Mexique) - La photo a été prise discrètement sur le marché permanent de la ville. Il a la particularité d’être implanté à flanc de montagne, comme toute la ville.
Pour visiter Taxco à pied, il est nécessaire d’avoir de bons mollets car les rues qui montent sont plutôt raides. Quand je je me rendais dans le coeur historique en passant par le marché en empruntant les escaliers, j’avais parfois le sentiment de faire un trek au Népal.
J’ai eu la mauvaise idée de trouver un hôtel d’un excellent rapport qualité-prix au pied de la ville et j’ai passé mon temps à monter. Monter encore et toujours. Côté positif, pour revenir, ça descend.
The perched market
Taxco (Mexico) - The photo was taken discreetly in the city's permanent market. It has the particularity of being located on the mountainside, like the whole city.
To visit Taxco on foot, it is necessary to have good calves because the streets are steep. When I went to the historic heart, I sometimes had the feeling of trekking in Nepal. The intensity of the effort is the same.
I had the bad idea to find a great value hotel on the edge of town and spent my time going up. going up, going up… On the positive side, to come back, it goes down.

Superfamily: Papilionoidea
Family: Lycaenidae
Subfamily: Lycaeninae
Genus: Polyommatus
Subgenus:
Species: icarus (Rottemburg, 1775)
Subspecies: icarus (Rottemburg, 1775)
mariscolore (Kane, 1893)
Wingspan
29 - 36mm
Introduction
Living up to its name, this butterfly is the commonest blue found in the British Isles. While the male has bright blue uppersides, the female is primarily brown, with a highly variable amount of blue. This is the most widespread Lycaenid found in the British Isles and can be found almost anywhere, including Orkney. It is absent, however, from Shetland and the mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland. This butterfly forms reasonably discrete colonies measured in tens or hundreds, with individuals occasionally wandering some distance.
Subspecies: Polyommatus icarus icarus
The nominate subspecies was first defined in Rottemburg (1775) as shown here (type locality: Germany). In the British Isles it is found throughout England, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. It may also be found in some parts Ireland, although there is some confusion regarding its status, as discussed under the subspecies mariscolore.
Subspecies: Polyommatus icarus mariscolore
This subspecies was first defined in Kane (1893) as shown here (type locality: Ireland). The distribution of the subspecies mariscolore is a confusing one. Nash (2012) suggests that both mariscolore and icarus are found in Ireland, Riley (2007) suggests that mariscolore is the only subspecies found in Ireland and Thomas & Lewington (2010) suggests that mariscolore is found both in Ireland and in north-western Scotland. It is certainly true that not all Irish Common Blues conform to the description of mariscolore. Specifically, mariscolore is characterised by the amount of blue in the female, but many female Irish Common Blues are brown with a variable amount of blue. The subspecies mariscolore differs from the subspecies icarus as follows:
1. Generally larger in size, especially the female.
2. The upperside of the female has extensive patches of blue, with large and bright orange marginal spots.
Polyommatus icarus mariscolore (Kane, 1893)
The Irish butterfly usually considerably exceeds in size that of England, varying from about 1 inch 2 lines to 1.5 inches in the June emergence; but the individuals of the second emergence are much smaller, and generally conform much more nearly to the usual English type in both sexes. Mr. South notes that the Irish and Scotch icarus are similarly characterised by their large size, and the brilliant blue of the female bordered with bright orange marginal ocelli.
The female offers the most conspicuous divergence from the normal English and Continental type, in which the basal half only is dusted with blue scales, the brown of the upper side being widely replaced by a violet or occasionally wholly by the bright blue of L. bellargus. These forms are not uncommon in Ireland, in Galway, Sligo, Donegal, Antrim, Down, Westmeath, Waterford, &c., and are accompanied by a series (often almost confluent) of very bright orange peacock-eye markings on the outer margins of all wings, so that some specimens (if not too brilliant) would pass muster as the var. ceronus of L. bellargus (fig. 12); another most interesting testimony to the genetic affinities of this species.
It may be that the acquisition of more brilliant colours in the female may be of advantage under less sunny skies, where the sun-loving Rhopalocera have less opportunities of selecting their mates, and cannot afford to indulge in long engagements.
Phenology
This species has 2 broods in the southern counties of England, and 1 brood further north. There may be a 3rd brood in favourable years. Time of emergence is highly variable. In good years, adults may be seen as early as the middle of May on more southerly sites. These peak at the end of May, giving rise to a second generation that emerges in the second half of July, peaking in the middle of August. Colonies in northern England and Scotland typically have a single brood that emerges in June, reaching a peak in July.
Habitat
This species is found in a wide variety of habitats, including unimproved grassland such as roadside verges and waste ground, downland, woodland clearings, heathland and even sand dunes.
Larval Foodplants
The primary larval foodplant is Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). Black Medick (Medicago lupulina), Common Restharrow (Ononis repens), Greater Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus), Lesser Trefoil (Trifolium dubium) and White Clover (Trifolium repens) are also used.
Nectar Sources
Adults feed primarily on Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), Bugle (Ajuga reptans), Carline Thistle (Carlina vulgaris), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Knapweeds (Centaurea spp.), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.), Thyme (Thymus polytrichus), Vetches (Vicia spp.) and White Clover (Trifolium repens).
Imago
This species is most active in sunshine and is a frequent visitor to flowers. Males are the more active of the two sexes and set up territories which they patrol in search of females. The female is less conspicuous, spending most of her time nectaring, resting and egg-laying. When egg-laying, the female makes slow flights, low over the ground, searching out suitable foodplants on which to lay. When a suitable plant is located, a single egg is laid on the upperside of a young leaf.
In dull weather this species roosts head down on a grass stem. As for similar species, such as the Brown Argus, this species roosts communally at night, with several individuals occasionally found roosting on the same grass stem.
Larva
The larva emerges after a week or two. On emerging from the egg the larva moves to the underside of the leaf, where it feeds, by day, on the lower surface without breaking through the upper leaf surface. This leaves characteristic blotches on the foodplant that can give away the presence of a larva. More mature larvae feed more extensively on the leaves. Those larvae that overwinter do so in leaf litter at the base of the foodplant, changing from green to olive, resuming their green colouring in the spring.
Like many other species of blue, the larva is attractive to ants, although only in its last instar. There are 4 moults in total. If the larva does not overwinter, then this stage lasts around 6 weeks.
Pupa
The pupa is formed on the ground or, occasionally, at the base of the foodplant, under a few silk strands. The pupa is attractive to ants which may bury it in earth. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.
A gangly raptor with long wings and tail; local in marshes and wetlands with extensive reed beds. Mainly seen in flight, quartering fairly low over marshes, with wings raised in shallow V. Commonest plumage dark brown overall with variable creamy cap, throat, and narrow leading edge to wing. Brightest adult males have tri-colored upper-wings, greyish tail, pale head and breast contrasting with rusty-brown belly. Extremely similar to closely related Eastern Marsh-Harrier; males of that species are darker-headed and browner-chested, and females are warmer brown and streakier on the chest, without Eurasian's discrete white 'cap' and dark line through the eye.
It was during a hike on the customs path at Cap Fréhel that I was struck by this explosion of colors. The heather blooms were at their peak, transforming the coastal moors into a purple carpet undulating in the sea breeze. I was specifically looking for this time of year when Breton nature reveals this particular palette.
In composing this panoramic image, I wanted to create a dialogue between three elements: the heather in the foreground, whose vibrant hues seem almost unreal; the blue immensity of the sea stretching in the middle; and the iconic Fort la Latte outlined in the distance, a discrete testimony to human history in this landscape dominated by natural forces.
The light was perfect that day, with clouds filtering the sun intermittently, creating variations of luminosity on the water and cliffs. I deliberately framed wide to capture the magnitude of this landscape and that sensation of space that overwhelms you when facing the sea from these vertiginous heights.
What particularly touches me about this place is the perfect harmony between the harshness of the elements - the steep cliffs, the constant marine winds - and the delicacy of these small flowers that manage to transform the entire landscape through their collective presence. It's this wild and flowering Brittany, between land and sea, that I wanted to immortalize.
Large Skipper - Ochlodes sylvanus. Seen in The New Forest, Hampshire.
Info from UK Butterflies.
This is one of the largest of our "golden" skippers and, like these other skippers, the male has a distinctive sex brand on its forewings containing specialised scent scales. Although this species forms discrete colonies, it is widespread and can be found in England and Wales as far north as Ayrshire in the west and North Northumberland in the east. This species is not found in Ireland or the Isle of Man, and is restricted to Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Ricoh GRDIV
Shot today at SEATAC Airport. apart from a super light change in hue, it's all straight out of camera. i could have left it the way it was, but i find the bleach bypass mode results often too saturated. the blues are nice but they're so vivid, i desaturate the final shot most of the time. the Ricoh GRDIV is a bit like the iphone+Instagram+Snapseed, except that at the end you don't even need to post process your shot. it's good the way it is.
It's funny how photography can make you think in a silly way. three months ago i was thinking my iphone was going to become my ultimate camera. today i think otherwise, despite the fact i do love Instagram and my iphone. as a discrete camera it's simply irreplaceable.
we all have those moments. i did sell my fuji x10 though. it's a great camera but i simply have to many choices when i leave home. it was becoming ridiculous, even more as i often try to take one camera with me everyday.
i took a very similar shot with my iphone, 30 seconds after this one.
