Not sure what this one is that I saw this morning on my walk. I will try to find out when I get a chance but if anyone knows all help is appreciated.

favorite part of the year is here...sitting on the portal and watching the hummers. Tomorrow is a travel day.
This little butterfly wouldn't stop fluttering its wings for even a second. But I was still able to catch this pic of it in my garden.
While sitting out on my backyard patio trying to figure out how some Ninja Squirrels were getting into my bird feeders, I noticed some fluttering between branches near my small pond. As took a closer look I couldn't believe my eyes...WARBLERS!!!! Not quite sure why they paid a visit as I am in the middle of a large metropolitan city...but thankful they did... I only managed to get limited snaps with my camera as I wasn't properly prepared...and spent the next several days attempting to get some some decent shots with these uncooperative little guys...Hopefully Ill have more to come as Ive seen 10 different species so far...
...I think I caught "Warbler Fever"! :>)
I've always loved creating nature-themed spaces inspired by real-life places I’ve visited. Capturing stunning landscapes in SL has been both a source of inspiration and a place of refuge for me. This Saturday (February 8, 2025) at 12 NN SLT, some of my landscape photos will be unveiled at the Center for the Arts. The exhibition is called "Liminal." The idea behind the theme means capturing spaces that exist between worlds, transitions, or thresholds. I’d love for you to join me there!

Variegated Flutterer (Rhyothemis variegata variegata) :- Very common dragonfly found throughout the year usually as large groups near weedy tanks, streams, paddy fields and marsh areas of low country. (biodiversityofsrilanka.blogspot.com)
Captured at Thalangama Lake, Sri Lanka
Fennel plant and a visitor. Brennan has identified this amazing acrobatic little bird as a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which is a new one for me. The mature male has the Ruby head, not this one.
Golden Grass Carpet Moth (Anachloris subochraria)
One of two new moths I spotted yesterday, I still need to ID the other.
I am way behind today, Flickr was down for a couple of hours earlier and I have meetings at the school. The STEM team, led by our Daniel took first place in the regional event last week and we are now, very quickly, organising a trip to Tasmania next month for the national finals. We, and the school, are very proud of Daniel and his team.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

This is for the alphabet collaboration with Megan!:)
I hope you are all doing well! I have been so busy studying for Finals. Thank goodness they are finally over! <3
Fluttering wing beats singing out in the spring, erupting in a continuous hum can mean only one thing, the hummingbirds have returned. Soon they will be flicking back and forth, standing guard over their favorite field of flowers, their best feeders, their hidden tea cup sized nests. Fast, furious, and fabulous. The royal guards of the avian world. This is one of my first visitors this year, small fast, and a little skittish, but happy all the same the strange giant remembered to put out the food they need to survive. This one has been working diligently to empty the bottle as soon as it arrived.

Little swifts are readily identified by their small size. Their wingspan is only 33 cm compared to 42 cm in the case of common swift. Their plumage is black except for a white throat and rump, the white rump patch extending onto the flanks. They have a short square tail, with all rectrices round-tipped. The flight is fluttering like that of a house martin, and the call is a high twittering. Like other swifts they are very short-legged. The legs are used for clinging to vertical surfaces only.

I love frogs and butterflies... among other things... this cute little metal statue sits in my sunroom, waiting for the real butterflies to arrive!
Happy Weekend!
The young debutante gazes at the butterfly migration, wondering where they are headed.

I found this male hummingbird coming down from a tree to feast on some pink clover growing in a patch of grass & weeds by the train track. Some stalks were in the way; this was the best of several shots that I was able to get, as it shows off that bright pink colour! You can just discern his wings fluttering as he feeds.
When I checked the photo on the computer, I saw to my great surprise and joy that is was an Anna's Hummingbird. I had not seen these here before in the Vancouver areas of BC, but apparently they do have habitats here.
Note: The Anna's Hummingbird was voted as the official bird of BC.These and the Rufous Hummingbirds do not migrate south in winter; they stay all year long.

She was a beauty to shoot (with camera, lol). But, fast and not easy to grab a solid focus. Once in awhile, I lucked out, though. hahaa
