The Dryadula is a monotypic genus of the butterfly family Nymphalidae. Its single species is the Dryadula phaetusa, known as the Banded Orange Heliconian, Banded Orange, or Orange Tiger. The Banded Orange Heliconian is native from Brazil to central Mexico, and in summer it can be found rarely as far north as central Kansas. Its wingspan ranges from 86 to 89 mm, and it is colored a bright orange with thick black stripes in males, and a duller orange with fuzzier black stripes in females.
It feeds primarily on the nectar of flowers and bird droppings, and its caterpillar feeds on passion vines including Passiflora tetrastylis. It is generally found in lowland tropical fields and valleys.
This one made #1 on Explore on 14th of November 2006. It's my first photo ever to make the top spot. Whee! :).

This image was captured down at Hook Head which is located in County Wexford, Ireland and features Hook Lighthouse which is one of the world's oldest lighthouses.
Maras is a little town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 45 km outside of Cusco. It is well known for its nearby salt evaporation ponds, the Salinas de Maras, located at an elevation of 3,380 m. Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream. The highly salty water emerges at a spring, a natural outlet of the underground stream. The flow is directed into an intricate system of tiny channels constructed so that the water runs gradually down onto the several hundred ancient terraced ponds.
Die peruanische Gemeinde Maras liegt etwa 45 km von Cusco entfernt in der Provinz und Region Cusco. Sie ist Teil des Heiligen Tals der Inkas. Eine salzhaltige Quelle speist die in einer Höhe von 3380 Metern terrassenartig angelegten Salzpfannen, wo durch die sukzessive Verdunstung der natürlichen Sole in der Sonne Salz gewonnen wird.
Sometimes called the "Nonpareil," meaning "unrivaled," a fair way to describe the unbelievable colors of the male Painted Bunting. This species is locally common in the Southeast, around brushy areas and woodland edges. It is often secretive, staying low in dense cover. However, males sing their bright warbling songs from higher in the trees, partly hidden among foliage or sometimes out in the sun on an exposed perch. Some lucky Floridians have Painted Buntings coming to their bird feeders in winter.
I was lucky this year as I have four Pained Buntings in My backyard for the winter. This is one of the males.

I just received my Canon EF 40mm 2.8 STM from Amazon today, so I had to test it out. Spring is here so I went outside to test out the lens, in the course of it I found this moss in the backyard growing between the bricks next to the fire pit. I had to lay almost completely flat on the ground for this angle but it was worth it.
Mike Olbinski and I went out monsoon chasing and saw this scene going on and had to pull over and shoot it. The sunsets in Arizona are nothing short of stunning. The monsoon clouds help a bit at adding interest, but even if they were not present, the colors and depth of sky are utterly phenomenal.
Though I mapped this here, I really have no idea where I was when we shot this. Mike, can you help out with this one? This was right next to the McDonalds if I remember correctly.

American White Pelican taken on Black Point Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Brevard County, Florida, USA. It's nice to see these magnificent birds in breeding plumage late in the winter before they leave for their spring breeding grounds.

The Obersee is an artificial lake outside the city of Bielefeld in East Westphalia. The local folks love the place and especially throughout weekends it is great fun to have a walk around the water. We used the perfect sunshine to enjoy November pleasures.
This was taken on Holyhead Island, Anglesey. This is an amazing place with stunning views and fond memories. Thank you for looking...

Florida designated the mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) as the official state bird in 1927. The Mockingbird is very famous. It even had a song written about it. "Listen To The Mockingbird" by Richard Milburn in 1855.
Full of personality, the mockingbird earns its name mimicking other birds, insects, animals and even human noises – like a car alarm! A male can learn up to 200 songs during its life, but the females rarely sing.
If you do find a female singing, notice that it is much softer than the male. Mockingbirds are quite common throughout the state and found in almost every habitat, including towns, suburbs, backyards, parks, forest edges and open land at low elevations. Mockingbirds eat mainly insects in the summer. During the fall and winter months they switch to mostly fruit and have been observed drinking sap from the cuts on recently pruned trees.
Many Floridians have experienced the wrath of the mockingbird defending its nest. Fiercely territorial, male mockingbirds have been known to recognize individual humans and will selectively attack them while ignoring other humans who pass by. Although we rarely intend to disturb nests, this behavior is not completely in vain. In southern Florida it has been noted that the strength of attacks against potential predators is directly associated with nesting success
The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi.
I found this one at Joe Overstreet Landing in Osceola County, Florida.

Loggerhead Shrikes are found only in North America. They breed in open country, including grasslands and shrub-steppe areas, where there are scattered trees, tall shrubs, fence posts, utility wires, or other lookout posts. They tend to nest in northeast- or southeast-facing ravines. Loggerhead Shrikes prefer more open country than that preferred by Northern Shrikes.
The Loggerhead Shrike is most well known for its innovative use of barbed-wire and chain-link fences to impale its prey to cache for later. It is also called butcherbird or French Mockingbird.
Decline in population over the past years is not well understood, but may be due to decreased winter survivability and vehicle collisions, particularly involving juvenile birds. They are listed endangered in Maryland and Virginia and a species of special concern (SSC) in West Virginia. They are only still relatively common in Florida.
The San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike subspecies has been listed as endangered since 1977, with population numbers reaching as low as 14 individuals. Currently there are captive breeding and release programs in use to help increase their numbers.
I found this one along Joe Oerstreet Road with what I think is a Mole Cricket.
Osceola County, Florida.
It is five below zero outside today and two more snowstorms are coming our way. In two days it will be March and maybe things will warm up a bit. In spite of this, there are are a lot of interesting photo opps out there---regardless of the cold. I knew about this neighbors old truck that was parked out behind their barn for years and was waiting for the right conditions to make an image. The falling wet snow made the moment.
I used my Pentax K5, Pentax 18-135mm lens, Aperture 3, and Topaz to make this image.

At La Push beach, looking on to James Island with Little James Island on the far right. Also, if you look at the little blip dead center between the two middle seastacks, that is Gunsight Rock (a separate island). This weekend, I got a primitive cabin on this beach for really cheap; great deal considering your view and what's around in just a short drive.
Calmed the Pacific Ocean enough to almost be smooth. Single Image, 8 minute exposure with the B+W110 which actually should have been a little longer since I had to pull a lot of the foreground water from darkness. Doing these long exposures can be a challenge of your patience considering I like to move around and get different points of views all within the time frame of sunset. Anyways, thanks for viewing and your comments!
From Wiki:
James Island is an island at the mouth of the Quillayute River near La Push, Washington, reportedly named either for Francis W. James, the first white man to climb the island in 1885, though the Origin of Washington Geographic Names attributes the naming to a Quileute chief named Jimmie Howeshatta. Until the second half of the 19th century, the island was the site of a fortified village. After this, it was used as a site for growing crops for residents of the mainland, as well as a burial site for tribal chiefs. At 160 feet (49 m) in height, the island was also used as a lookout for spotting whales. The island was formerly a sea stack, connected to the mainland, until the US Army Corps of Engineers rerouted the Quillayute River, separating it. No people outside of the Quileute tribe are allowed on the island.
The Inca tern (Larosterna inca) is a seabird in the family Sternidae. It is the only member of the genus Larosterna.
This uniquely plumaged bird breeds on the coasts of Peru and Chile, and is restricted to the Humboldt current. It can be identified by its dark grey body, white moustache on both sides of its head, and red-orange beak and feet.
The Inca tern is a large tern, approximately 40 cm long. Sexes are similar; the adult is mostly slate-grey with white restricted to the facial plumes and the trailing edges of the wings. The large bill and legs are dark red. Immature birds are purple-brown, and gradually develop the facial plumes.
The Inca tern breeds on rocky cliffs. It nests in a hollow or burrow or sometimes the old nest of a Humboldt penguin, and lays one or two eggs. The eggs are incubated for about 4 weeks, and the chicks leave the nest after 7 weeks.
The Inca tern feeds primarily on small fish, such as anchovies. The species spots its prey from the air, diving into the water to grab meals with its pointed beak. Its call is a cat-like mew.

"Not all those who wander are lost"
This past week has been great! I found out I got 100% in my psychology a-level exam (!!!), i got my 5hr art exam out of the way (which included making a mini rain machine, which I am going to make in large scale next week), did a ton of editing of the pictures I took of all my sixth form at our spring ball a couple of weeks ago, and went to see Colin Fry live with my mum and dad! I've got two new photoshoots penciled in, one with the gorgeous Nhuc Tran, and one with a hairdressing salon. I am really really excited about both!
This was taken at Tittesworth Reservoir. It's gorgeous outside today, so it was really busy. That meant lots of people walking past whilst I was stood half naked in spanx shivering my butt off. I don't really get affected by doing shoots in public anymore, I would never have done this 6months ago, but now its not much of a big deal. I find people are usually interested and just like to have a look at whats going on. It's always made easier when you have people with you, though!!
For some outtakes and a before and after, look on Mine and Aaron's blog! :)
**swapped it to colour :)**
Best on black.
I have a few shots I took last fall that I have been a little unsure of....since I don't really have anything new worth posting....

El encanto de Chiloe es innegable. Segun la Travel Leisure la Isla de Chiloe es uno de los lugares del mundo que usted debe conocer el 2016, ya antes Smarter Travel la habia elegido como una de las 10 islas mas remotas y fascinantes del mundo.
Chiloe es un archipielago conformado por mas de de 30 islas donde la Isla Grande es la mayor de todas, situado en la Región de Los Lagos, en el centro-sur de Chile, 90 kms al sur de Puerto Montt. En total posee una superficie de 8.394 kms2 (3,241 mil2) con 250 kms de largo y 82 kms de ancho. Algunos de los mayores encantos de la isla son sus intocados bosques milenarios del tipo Patagonico Siempre Verde, extensas playas virgenes y acantilados rocosos, la vida silvestre especialmente el avistamiento de aves, ballenas azules y pinguinos, bellos campos agricolas sobre sinuosos lomajes, su tradicional arquitectura en madera donde destacan sus Iglesias declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO y sus “Palafitos”, la navegacion a vela o en kayak por sus apacibles canales y su gastronomia dominada por los mariscos y productos del mar. Nota aparte merece su extraordinaria mitologia de origen Huilliche que domina la cultura local despertando la imaginación con cuentos de brujas, seres fantasticos y barcos fantasmas.
El turismo en la isla ha ido creciendo progresivamente durante los ultimos años pero aun sigue siendo un territorio intocado por el turismo masivo donde muchos de sus paisajes permanecen aun virgenes, de hecho las mitad sur de la isla esta practicamente inhabitada, asi Chiloe se resiste a dejar sus antiguas tradiciones y costumbres.

On a blustery day in January, I found myself searching for remnants of Americana in the form of derelict railway stations, signals and factories in a frozen Buffalo, New York. With nipping winds, blowing snow and cloudy weather, making up most of the day it seemed like it was a complete bust. However, nearing the end of the less than desirable day, the sun came out, covering much of Buffalo in a rich golden glow. The blowing snow, and the setting sun created an almost surreal environment for this stopped Norfolk Southern train on the outside of town.
