Seamer tip ponds, Scarborough. 2017
This is only the second damselfly picture that I have posted on FLICKR. This is a beauty, and has been very popular on here, so I will definitely be on the lookout for more.
My only sharp image of a bug on the Sicilian Honey Garlic and that was because it had landed! The aim of the session was to capture a Bee in flight. There's always tomorrow!
The Large megallanic cloud. Visible in the southern hemisphere very close to the celestial south pole. This cloud is in fact a is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. You need to be in a fairly dark area well away from city lights to see this nebula, even then it will appear as a barely visible faint smudge. It was so clear that night and the brilliance of the stars were absolutely out of this world!
I took 9 shots at ~61 secs each, totaling 559 secs of exposure using my home built star tracker. Unfortunately my focus was ever so slightly off. So I will have to go back to redo them some time. I stacked in Sequator, denoised in DxO and refined in Affinity Photo.
A few avens remain in Gogerddan. This time I tried to capture them using my Nikon D7500 with a macro lens.
A large red damselfly seen at Laymoor Quag near Cinderford in the Forest of Dean back in early June.
Oncopeltus fasciatus, known as the large milkweed bug, is a medium-sized hemipteran (true bug) of the family Lygaeidae. It is distributed throughout North America. It ranges from Central America through Mexico and the Caribbean to southern areas in Canada. Costa Rica represents this insects southern limit. It inhabits disturbed areas, roadsides and open pastures. Due to this widespread geographic distribution this insect exhibits varying life history trade-offs depending on the population location.
Adults can range from 10–18 mm in length and have a red/orange and black X-shaped pattern on their wings underneath the triangle that is typical to hemipterans.
This feature makes the bug easily seen, acting as a aposomatic warning to predators of distastefulness. O. fasciatus exhibits müllerian mimicry and is noxious to predators. The ventral side of the fourth abdominal segment bears a black band in the male and two black spots in the female. Juveniles are born mostly red with black antennae and a few black spots, throughout growth the black spots are developed as well as wing pads. Eggs of this insect are bright orange and easily detectable.

The Large Red Damselfly(Pyrrhosoma nymphula) is Britain's most common red damselfly. It can be found in
most wetland habitats living around the edges of ponds, lakes, ditches and canals, and also be found away from breeding sites in grassland and woodland, but it avoids fast flowing water. The earliest damselfly to emerge, it is on the wing from the end of April through to August.
The Large Red Damselfly has black legs and dark pterostigma (wing spots)The male has a red abdomen with black markings and the thorax is black with red antehumeral stripes. The female has three colour forms ranging from mostly red to mostly black with small yellow markings. Some colour forms have red antehumeral stripes on the thorax, some have yellow stripes.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
We lit the streets with the sweetest glow
We held the globe and made it turn
Wandered through the universe
The men of science observed through telescopes
All for love, we become
Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become,
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become
Larger than lifesize we become
Great in the eyes of someone
Lifesize - A Fine Frenzy
warm summer days, soft whispers of wind caressing bare skin, time stretches and the world shrinks to this..
Finally got round to editing a story from the summer. I'm looking forward to sharing the rest of the photos with you all! It's shot at my favourite time of day, the hour when sun sets and the darkness draws in and the light is at its most beautiful.
If you celebrated Thanksgiving this week then I hope you had a wonderful one. Next week I'll be renewing my pro account with flickr. I want to say a big Thank you to you guys for being so kind and supportive with your comments and advice. You guys motivate me to push myself and be better. Tomorrow I'm meeting some lovely photographers who I now call my friends and whom I never would have met if it wasn't for Flickr. I have a lot to thank this community for! So THANK YOU and I hope you have a lovely weekend wherever you are! :)
