The Canadian Tiger Swallowtail is found in most provinces and territories in Canada, as its name implies. Its range extends north of the Arctic Circle in the Yukon, and to Churchill in Manitoba, Little Shagamu River in Ontario, and to Schefferville in Quebec. It does not occur in southern British Columbia, being replaced there by the western tiger swallowtail, Papilio rutulus, or in southwestern Ontario, approximately west of Toronto, where it is replaced by the eastern tiger swallowtail. It has not been reported from Labrador, but has been seen in western Newfoundland. It is seen in the northern third of the United States. Within this range, it is a very common and well-known butterfly, even more so around woodland edges. It is one of the most common puddling species and often hundreds will gather at a single puddle.

Butterflies seem to be in short supply this year so I was pleased to find this swallowtail feeding on the nectar of the honeysuckle.

Located only 135 km from Venice, this resort extends along the left bank of Lake Santa Caterina at around 900 metres above sea level.
Surrounded by forests and some of the most beautiful mountain massifs in the Dolomites – it is the only urban centre from which the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are visible.

Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
Heritage Site
Wards Public Marina is on the Nicomekl River in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
It started out as a farm in the late 1800's. The 1894 historic farmhouse can be seen in the previous image. ( The house and it's outbuildings back the marina )
The Ward family included a small private marina after WWII. Years later the dock was extended.
In 1985, the City of Surrey purchased Wards Marina and the surrounding property.
The HISTORIC STEWART FARMHOUSE is now a heritage museum site.
The property was named, Elgin Heritage Park.
Wards Public Marina, is owned by the City of Surrey, and now operates as a civic marina.
The shoreline is an oyster bed. Thousands of oysters line the riverbank.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.

I have always loved these yellow rosellas, which are actually a variety of the crimson rosella. Very common in areas along the Murray River, this one was a regular visitor to a tree in front of our cabin in Mildura in Victoria.

The Inca jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a bird species of the New World jays, which is endemic to the Andes of South America.
Their basic diet consists of arthropods, vertebrates, seeds, and fruit.
The range extends southwards in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

The little black cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It is common in smaller rivers and lakes throughout most areas of Australia and northern New Zealand, where it is known as the little black shag. It is around sixty centimetres long, and is all black with blue-green eyes. The little black cormorant is a small cormorant measuring 60–65 cm with all black plumage. The back has a greenish sheen. In breeding season, white feathers appear irregularly about the head and neck, with a whitish eyebrow evident. The plumage is a more fade brown afterwards. Males and females are identical in plumage. The long slender bill is grey, and legs and feet black. The iris of the adult is green and the juvenile brown. Immature birds have brown and black plumage. The little black cormorant ranges from the Malay Peninsula through Indonesia (but excluding Sumatra) and New Guinea (including the D'Entrecasteaux Islands) and throughout Australia. It is found in New Zealand's North Island. It is a predominantly freshwater species, found in bodies of water inland and occasionally sheltered coastal areas. It is almost always encountered in or near water. The little black cormorant feeds mainly on fish, and eats a higher proportion of fish than the frequently co-occurring little pied cormorant, which eats more decapods. 53838

Captured from Chapel Porth Beach, Cornwall. Chapel Porth Beach is a small sandy and pebble cove at the bottom of a narrow valley on the North Cornwall coast. At low tide the beach extends to an excellent wide beach which is popular with surfers. Note that the sand at Chapel Porth is completely covered at high tide. The coast path can be walked to St Agnes Head for spectacular views. On the coast path the Wheal Coates mine can also be visited. www.cornwallbeachguide.co.uk/northcornwall/chapelporth/ch....
We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I drove along a windy road among redwoods, and noticed a small creek. I followed the creek on foot until I found a small waterfall.
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck and an orange bill with a black base and a black knob. It flies with its neck extended and regular, slow wingbeats.
The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England.
Extension rings as nature morte. Setup night in my local photo club.
I apologize for the long absence. Turns out, flickr is inaccessible in China. Who knew?

I processed a photographic, a paintery, and a balanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

It's a wobbly trip back to Stinson for this CP train coming back from Rice's Point in Duluth approaching 28th Street near Superior High School. CP 6306 is the former SOO 6024, for reference.
Heavily cropped photo but so pleased to catch a rare glimpse of this beautiful bird. A first for me!
Extended the shutter to 15 seconds as the wave action came in between the rocks along this rocky section of the Maine shoreline.
While in one sense the irruption of Sophia into Merton’s consciousness in the late 1950s was just one thread woven into the larger mosaic of his “turn to the world,” it was the golden thread that helped him to hold the fabric together, ever more centered in Christ. What emerges in Merton’s concurrent study of Zen and Russian sophiology is a kind of “story-shaped” Christology, a story told through the life of Merton but haunted more and more by the mysterious figure of Sophia.

Juvy Green Heron spreads its wings to minimize the depth of its dive into Horsepen Bayou. In the 20-or-so strikes from this fishing platform that I observed, this was the only instance that it lost its grip and went in. But even here, it had already captured its prey and was in full control of its trajectory.
The eastern edge of McLennan County (where this image was taken) was once part of an extensive swath of Blackland Prairie that extended in a narrow band between oak savannas. We'll never know exactly what this region may have looked like before it was forever changed by the hand of man, however it probably was quite different than what is shown in this image. Though beautiful, I don't think this scene is an accurate representation of the historic plant community (even if we disregard the nonnative species present). The two dominant species here are Texas bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) and Texas paintbrush (Castilleja indivisa). These are both iconic Texas wildflowers, however both have also been extensively planted along roadways and properties throughout much of the Lone Star State, including areas where they were not historically present. This makes it quite difficult to determine when one encounters a naturally occurring population of either. This particular site occurs along a roadway and extends into adjacent pastures. Whether these particular plants are naturally occurring or not, they make for a pretty picture and a pleasant view, and I certainly enjoyed exploring the area.
