Is it a beetle? Yes it is.
Is it a potato beetle? Yes.
Does it look like a potato beetle? Yes
The similar Colorado Potato Beetle is found throughout the USA, but this one, the "False Potato Beetle" is found only in Eastern USA. Eastern Potato Beetle would seem a more logical name...oh well.

Taken in 2016 when it was open to public. As of today, False Kiva still remains closed by the National Park. Somehow I lost the raw files after a hard drive failure, but was just able to recover them and re-processed.
The NW summit of Waddington has a false summit as well as a true summit. The false summit sits just to the south of the NW summit at the head of Angel Glacier, across a small saddle. In this photo from the true summit of Wadd an American climber is traversing from the NW summit over the saddle to the false summit.
It's amazing how much these spread in a season. Nice to have, attractive to pollinators, but I think we'll have to set some limits...
You think your nearly there and then you get a little higher and realise it's a false summit... it happens a lot when walking the fells.. now I never believe I'm nearly there until I am there :-)
So I bought I Hoya HR72 for the X100T from Amazon for this challenge, but I'm either using it entirely incorrectly or the filter is fake, because even with the longest exposure time I don't get those nice snow white grass and leaves, everything is just red. There is also a really nasty halo(I've removed it here) present on all the shots, at first I thought it was the after market hood and filter ring I was using, but it's exactly the same with the filter directly attached to the camera. Think it needs to go back to Amazon.
Going to try this again in the summer when we have a bit more greenery present though.

Meet me at this weeks FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER along with a short interview in the group The World Through My Eyes.
Part I of an ongoing series, this is a 195 sec. exposure when the first stars started to appear, hence the small trail on the top left. The light behind the green dike is Emden, Germany, a few hundred meters across Fiemel, the place where this shot was taken.
Fiemel is a hamlet in the municipality of Delfzijl, the Netherlands. It lies at the east of Termunten, directly on the Ems, at the beginning of de Punt van Reide, the extreme northeastern tip of the province Groningen.
Post-processing notes: Color correction, contrast and detail enhancement.
Exposure info: ISO 100 - 12mm - f/4 - 195 sec.
Location: Fiemel, I think the most north-eastern part of Groningen, the Netherlands. Along the wavebreaker near the Reidehoeve.

From my recovered raw files of the same 2016 trip. I don't know when I am able to take a night sky picture there again.

If your legs are too tired for walking, both the Aquabus and the False Creek Ferry are pleasant alternatives for getting around False Creek. Vancouver, BC
It was snowing and blowing but not very cold. The snow occasionally turned to mixed snow and rain. A truly mediocre day to go for a walk along the seawall and even worse day for this shot of the big 'golf ball' at Science World.
False Kiva The trail to false kiva is a social trail not maintained by the park service, because of its archeological significance. There are small cairns along the way to mark the meager trail, but you have to be attentive. I walked right past it, but I found it while backtracking. Heavy fog rolled in as I arrived near sunset, but didn't last long. If you look at the large version you'll see clouds nestling around the rock formations in the distance. I carefully cloned out some manmade barriers that protect some areas to the left of the false kiva.
