Marking the official end of summer today with a monarch photo from Tower Hill Botanic garden, where I went last weekend. End of summer is always going to be a little bit sad. But autumn in New England is pretty special!
Have a great day everyone!
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.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves which have been left.
Have a wonderful week!
The only true time which a man can properly call his own, is that which he has all to himself; the rest, though in some sense he may be said to live it, is other people's time, not his.

Very unusual looking female Mallard?
As you can see Boris, it's Mallard looking?
And the purple flashes on the side are also consistent!
But it's colouring is very unusual?
I know it's not a good photo, but it shows the overall shape and markings well!

The Storm Approaches...
Up and out by 5.00 am just ahead of the sunrise, greeted by a cloudy, stormy morning; heavy, large raindrops fell like blobs from the sky. each one exploded like large water balloons on the pavement and grass at my feet...
The turbulent sky roiled and boiled in front of my lens; as i braved the wind and the rain to snap this photo. then came the deluge and a sudden mad dash for home.

Love In The Sand..
A few weeks ago was a frigid cold day, sub zero temperatures with strong winds made it feel even colder. We made our way to Jack Darling Memorial Park and spend a few hours braving the cold to get some shots.
the cloud filled sky was changing by the minute, the light was so unpredictable my meter was getting a workout. at times it looked like the a sudden storm would crack the sky and either snow or hail would soon be pelting us. Suddenly the dark clouds dissipated and light fluffy clouds with hints of blue sky appeared,
Karen was busy carving her love to me in the sand.

Simha is beautiful all over, but the white markings on his paws, chest and belly make him even more beautiful. However, the most outstanding part of his body is his amazing amber eyes.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
This night photograph was taken in Wuhan East Lake two weeks ago during blue hour.
The undulating road within the East Lake with line marking, with a small arch bridge in the background, provided directional viewpoint to the nightscape. The trunks and branches of the French Plane trees on either side of the road, with curled autumn leaves, added serenity to the evening landscape.
Same species as yesterday's post, but this one is the more typical variant called the 'white stripe', since those markings are so clearly visible on its head.
According to allaboutbirds.com,
the White-throated Sparrow is a 'large, plump sparrow with a long tail and fairly small bill. Bold face pattern with black and white crown stripes, yellow spot between eye and bill, and neat white throat patch on gray face and breast.'
I photographed this bird in the springtime as the leaves and blossoms were gracing us with their lovely colors.
I like the way the bird was facing the other way, but then gave me a nice facial pose when it turned back to look at me.

I think this is either a small milkweed bug or a scarlet plant bug, although the color pattern and markings don't quite match the images of either of these bugs. This was on goldenrod in my summer garden. Can anyone provide a positive ID?
Lions are my favorites of the big cats. They like to hunt, fight, play, love, bond and, unfortunately, sleep. Males are protective of their territory and leave a message at the proverbial post office, whenever they pass by. It was fun watching even young males stop by the post office and check the mail, even if they didn’t leave their own personal scent message. This big guy checked the post office for messages and left one of his own. (Panther leo) (Sony a1, 70-200mm lens @ 121mm, f/5, 1/500 second, ISO 640)
Tombstones marking where two soldiers died at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
If I remember correctly, these two, isolated graves were about a quarter mile from the Last Stand location where many of the 263 soldier graves are located.
I wondered how these two soldiers died - fleeing the battle or making their own desperate last stand, as part of Custer's command of 700 who were overwhelmed by up to 3,000 Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians.
It certainly is a beautiful and peaceful resting place.
