ferns has intense beauty, especially when they emerge from the bottom and start unfurling their leaves.
This photo was taken moments before the butterfly emerged from its chrysalis. It is possible to distinguish the brown and orange colours of the wings.

On my first unaided walk on Sunday I noticed these bud emrging from I am not sure whether a Maple or a Birch tree. These are very small maybe two inches in diameter so shot up close with the 50mm this is what I got.
South facing exposures in the landscape are the first to discard their snowy covering...still a rare but welcome sight.
I had to smile when I discovered yesterday's b/w photo made Explore. Ironically, I was busy yesterday morning, and the upload was a bit of a quick entry with little effort behind it. While at one time, I was "explored" often, I thought they had either forgotten me or my photography had suddenly become lousy...;-) Maybe the later upload placed me in the algorithm again.

Now I'm not sure the Cataract Gorge in Launceston is what the Celts would call a "thin place", where the gap between this world and the next is wafer thin. But I wouldn't be surprised. It was already considered sacred by generations of indigenous Tasmanians.
Here in this infrared photo the light emerging over the top of the hill is analogous to the Light many spend a lifetime climbing towards. What lies over the ridge beyond the horizon of time? One day we shall know.
It was sunny but very windy this morning when I was out and about for a walk. I had given up trying to take photos of insects but couldn't resist snapping a shot of this poppy which was growing at a roadside.
A Monarch just hopped on my finger about 20 minutes after emerging from the chrysalis. One of the many I helped raise. They are rather helpless clumsy for the first day. I rescued one out of the water in my back yard. He was fine.
...or just the golden lid of a face cream, closed with a black velvet cloth underneath, placed inside a glass (invisible because of the piece of velvet) which was put sideways on an open coffee pot. This construction kept the lid parallel to the camera lense. The reflections of a crinkled piece of orange toffee tinfoil lit by a small LED lamp completed the setting.
Phhhh, a lot of 'construction work' to square the circle ;) but fun, too.
Enjoy your squared circle day, dear Flickr friends.

My other 7-photos panoramic view of Bukhta Natalii (the Bay of Nataly), which is probably the most beautiful fjord of the Koryak Coast (North of Kamchatka).
Exceptionally we had a sunny weather!
The little red things in the valley are our cruise participants.

Reclining Buddhas are commonplace in Thailand and also here in Laos.
A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand.
This pattern seems to have emerged at the same time as other representations of the Buddha in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.
Recently, I tried to take some pictures of daisies, but in the morning most of them are closed. This one, however, has already opened up, where the remaining dew created a nice bokeh. Again, I've used my Helios 44-2 since it is sharper than my Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primotar and it produces a softer bokeh which does not look so "nervous". Hope you like it!
also from exactly a year ago today -- poor little birch tree just barely getting free of the heavy snow!

Rufus, emerging from his tunnel on my patio, agrees with the groundhogs, Wiarton Willy, Fred la marmotte, and their US cousin Punxsutawney Phil...an early spring!!! After all, Rufus is also a rodent, just from a different family :)
Rufus is also busy chasing Mrs Rufus around our yard, so love is in the air!

The heatwave continues. Fynn appeared from his hideout behind the garden shed where he had taken a nap among the tomatoes and checked the conditions. He is usually a cat who makes the best of all kinds of weather but he has definitely too much fur for this year's summer. At least the tomato plants are happy with the dry weather as it looks as if we'll have a splendid harvest.
