An Australian painted lady, Vanessa kershawi, feeding on the Jervis Bay Grevillea, Grevillea macleayana, at Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, Australia.

The markings of the Australian painted lady are similar to the Northern Hemisphere painted lady, Vanessa cardui.

This gorgeous lady blue posed beautifully for a while showing off her beautifully intricate patterning.

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciatwe that very much

I don't want summer to end without posting a butterfly. Here is a Painted Lady, and as you can see it was well aware that I was taking its photograph. How lucky we are to be able to observe with our macro lens their tiny lives.

Butterflies have been the inspiration of so many fairy tales and fantastic stories, and there are so many more things that I can say about them, but for now I'm going to stop there :)

Something interesting about this butterfly:

Photography is one of my passions, and nature photography is my favorite.

I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.

I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!

The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

Recibió su nombre en honor de Elizabeth Gould, la esposa del artista ornitológico británico John Gould.

La señora Gould no tenía el título de «Lady» (nobleza), sin embargo esta especie era conocida como «pinzón de Lady Gould» (Lady Gouldian Finch en inglés) debido a un error moderno.

Así que, es más apropiado llamar a esta especie diamante de Gould (Gouldian Finch en inglés). También se conoce como «Lady Gouldian», «Rainbow Finch» (pinzón arco iris) o Gould en su país nativo.

Sarakiniko beach in the island of Milos is a volcanic location that attracts many influencers. The lady in red was posing for another photographer early in the day. I took this image at 105mm from the opposite side of the rocky beach.

Vanessa cardui is a well-known colorful butterfly, known as the painted lady, or formerly in North America as the cosmopolitan. This is one of the butterflies that are always around our gardens.

The only Painted lady butterfly i've seen so far this year. Last year was a bumper year, they were everywhere.

A real lady, not a painting :) From Stirling Castle in Scotland.

Interestingly, the picture is taken with a handheld camera indoor at 1/8 second (zoom lens at 24mm).

There are more pictures from Scotland – both landscapes, urban photos, castles and flowers – in the Scotland album

"Well she's all you'd ever want,

She's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.

Well she always knows her place.

She's got style, she's got grace, She's a winner.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa,

She's a Lady.

Talkin' about that little lady,

And the lady is mine."

It's visiting a colourful zinnia and one of the few Painted Ladies that I spotted this year.

Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

I was back out in our meadow this morning. No dew today but I found this lonely Lady on a small, dried weed. It was cool out and no wind. She was quite still for me to set-up and take around 30 shots for focus stacking @ 4x magnification.
