The Samara or winged Achene of the Sycamore tree picked off the ground where they lie by the dozens in my backyard. A flattened wing of fibrous, paper-like tissue covered with a forest of tiny veins. As kids in autumn we would throw these seeds in the air and watch them whirl to the ground like a helicopter.
Apologize, I have very limited knowledge of butterflies but in Dutch the family name is probably "witje"
Sharing of some additional information would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

Instead of throwing out some roses once they were 'past their best' I decided to put them in the airing cupboard to dry out. I think they are just as beautiful in their old age!
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on my images. They are very much appreciated.
I wish,that I was older
Old enough to be yours
And I wish,that I was wiser
Wise enough to be strong minded
To keep up with the words you say
That make me feel so young...
Take heart, those of you who prefer stacked images. A rental camera should arrive Tuesday, and after I let the package and camera breath for a bit, perhaps a very sharp shell might appear. (Thanks for your stacking explanations, Evelin.)
Meanwhile this is how I see. Shallow depth of field.
I don't know who or what bird dropped this. I hope the wee bird managed to fledge. The shell or piece of shell measures only 2cm.
"Wenn Fleisch und Stahl eins werden, fließt Blut.
Es trocknet im Abendrot, und der Regen des folgenden Tages spült die Flecken fort.
Vielleicht liegt der Sinn dieses Schlussakts darin,
ein für allemal dieses lebenslange Gezerre mit einer Erkenntnis zu beenden: dass Gewalt zu nichts führt und noch keinem etwas gebracht hat – auch denen nicht, die von Natur aus streitsüchtig und krieglüstern veranlagt sind.
Und wir alle sollten nie vergessen, wie zerbrechlich wir doch sind..."
Sting
Noch immer hoffen wir auf diesen Regen...

I watched a show on television last night that said this area is in one of the most dangerous spots in the world for a possible massive tsunami!

Macro photography is not my thing for sure. I never had the right gear to do it and to be honest when looking at other people's photo a landscape, a street photo or a portrait will catch my eye a lot more. However I respect how macro photography can reveal some mesmerizing details from things made either by nature or man while keeping the result very abstract. This would be my very first attempt in macro on a quite rainy fall day. I feel like everything clicked together for a nice result. The waterdrops from the mist, the light and obviously the fall colored backdrop.

Η μακρο φωτογραφια δεν ειναι το στιλ μου. Ποτε δεν ειχα το σωστο εξοπλισμο για να την εξασκησω και για να ειμαι ειλικρινης μια φωτογραφια τοπιου, δρομου η ενα πορτραιτο μου κεντριζουν περισσοτερο την προσοχη. Παρολαυτα σεβομαι το πως αυτου του ειδους η φωτογραφια μπορει να αποκαλυψει τις φανταστικες λεπτομερειες που υπαρχουν σε πραγματα φτιαγμενα ειτε απο τον ανθρωπο ειτε απο τη φυση ενω το αποτελεσμα συνηθως ειναι ιδιαιτερα αφαιρετικο. Αυτη εδω ειναι η πρωη μου προσπαθεια για μακροφωτογραφια σε μια ιδιαιτερα βροχερη φθινοπωρινη ημερα. Νιωθω οτι σχεδον τα παντα δουλεψαν ωστε το αποτελεσμα να ειναι αισθητικα ωραιο. Οι σταγονες της βροχης, το φως και φυσικα το φοντο με τα φθινοπωρινα χρωματα.

Thanks to my partner Eli Medier for his poem:
"This evening
end of May
it is still spring
If You existed Lord
I would ask you the why
of those thousand windows
But in the cold light of mercury
among the headlights
under a trapezoidal sky
I wished You were listening
I sang in despair
tonight Lord
I wish it were the last"

Dragonflies and their kin were our target last weekend, and initially we didn't find any of the larger ones. Some closer observation turned up quite a few damselflies, including this Fragile Forktail. Forest Park in St Louis, Missouri
but not.
