Title stolen from jandouwe and maybe a little from the Stones too.
Midsland, Terschelling, The Netherlands.
Unexpected scene among some garages. White painted rock shining in the sun. Worthy subject? Perhaps not but I still think it turned out pretty neat.

This was one of the zillions we had last year - I wonder what this year will bring? And if we are going to able to get out to find out
The Holy Cross Church in Hattula, Finland, is known for its lime paint frescoes done in late Gothic style. The church was a popular pilgrimage destination during the Middle Ages.

The male painted buntings get all of the attention, but the green females are worthy of attention as well.

On the left we see a photograph from the 1960s of the paint crew in the very workshop we see displayed in my colour photograph on the right. That sign on the wall has been placed there by the museum and tells an interesting tale about workers' habits. [Enlarge to read it.]
The Painted Hills are one of three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Historic Monument in Oregon. The Painted Hills Unit is named for colorful volcanic layers present in the area.
Happy Bench Monday!
The colors of this area will change with the position of the sun, last rainfall, temperature etc. These photos were taken after rainfall the night before.
Painted Hills, is one of the three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, located in Wheeler County, Oregon. It totals 3,132 acres (12.67 km2) and is located 9 miles (14 km) northwest of Mitchell, Oregon. The Painted Hills are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Painted Hills is named after the colorful layers of its hills corresponding to various geological eras, formed when the area was an ancient river floodplain.
The black soil is lignite that was vegetative matter that grew along the floodplain. The grey coloring is mudstone, siltstone, and shale. The red coloring is laterite soil that formed by floodplain deposits when the area was warm and humid
An abundance of fossil remains of early horses, camels, and rhinoceroses in the Painted Hills unit makes the area particularly important to vertebrate paleontologists.
From the cold winter of the last photo to the hot summer: thermal features of Yellowstone
"The Lower Geyser Basin is the largest geyser basin in area, in Yellowstone National Park. It covers approximately 11 square miles. By comparison, the Upper Geyser Basin only covers about one square mile. Because of its large size, the thermal features in the Lower Geyser Basin tend to be clumped in widely spaced groups. The easiest grouping to get to and probably the most interesting to explore is the Fountain Paint Pot area."

Painted Lady - Vanessa cardui
The Painted Lady is a long-distance migrant, which causes the most spectacular butterfly migrations observed in Britain and Ireland.
Each year, it spreads northwards from the desert fringes of North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia, recolonising mainland Europe and reaching Britain and Ireland. In some years it is an abundant butterfly, frequenting gardens and other flowery places in late summer.
Painted lady butterflies have a pale buffy-orange background colour to the upper wings. The forewings have black tips marked with white spots; the hindwings have rows of black spots. The undersides are pale with blue eyespots.
Painted ladies do not hibernate in Britain; instead they migrate to and from northern Africa. They can arrive in early spring, but late May and June are more usual. They are fairly common across Britain, numerous in some years.
Females lay their small, green eggs on a range of species, such as nettles and mallows, but thistles are the general favourite. When the caterpillars hatch they begin to eat the underside of the leaf. As they grow, each constructs a tent of folded leaves fastened with silk.
Caterpillars pupate and remain suspended in a large tent of leaves until the adults emerge in August and September. The whole British population dies or emigrates to Africa in the autumn.
Caterpillars are black, speckled with tiny white spots and have a yellow stripe down each side. They are covered in spines.
Kachina Point, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park
Arizona's Painted Desert is a surprising land of contrasting colors, light and textures, accented with occasional tree fossils leftover from the ancient forest which flourished here 200 million years ago. These badlands are especially enchanting when washed in moonlight, as seen here.
To see this desert past sunset however, plan well ahead of time. The Painted Desert is actually part of Petrified Forest National Park, and as such is only accessible to the public after sunset in certain viewpoints, and that only with a controlled permit. This is primarily to lesson the likelihood of people freely taking fossils ("petrified wood") from the park. You need to reserve very early in the day as not many permits are available.
This worked to our advantage that night, as my son and I were the only ones there at Kachina Point. We had the park all to ourselves, with a full moon, a gentle breeze, and the happy peace of nature all around.

I got eaten by many mosquitos to get this shot blue hour shot of Paint Lake near Thompson, Manitoba, and in Northern Manitoba in the summer, they get quite hungry at dusk. The rain was really coming down at this point.
Thanks, so much...
Painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) at Wildwood Nature Preserve in the canal. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Painted Buntings are pretty aggressive to other members of their species. When the males aren't challenging with a song or fighting, they spend a lot of time hiding from predators. As brightly colored as they are, it's difficult to spot them back in the shade and leaves. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I have a difficult time telling the painted lady and American lady species of butterflies apart. I'm pretty sure this one is the painted lady (vanessa cardui) and it looked beautiful on a pink zinnia.
