The Chinese yellow swallowtail (Papilio xuthus), too Asian swallowtail, Japanese swallowtail and xuthus swallowtail, is a yellow and black collered medium to large sized butterfly of temperate east Asia. The Chinese yellow swallowtail is found in Japan, Korean Peninsula, eastern and southern China, Taiwan, the Philippines and northern Myanmar. The butterfly is introduced in Hawaii in 1971.
This species inhabits woodland, suburban gardens, city parks and citrus orchards, at elevations between sea level and about 1000m.
With a wingspan of 6.0 - 11.5 cm the Chinese yellow swallowtail is a medium to large sized member of the family Papilonidae.
Its color pattern consists of a black pattern on a yellow background. The hind wings have a pair of protruding tails which give the butterfly its common name from the resemblance to the birds of the same name. The flight period of the butterfly is from May to August.
This picture was taken in the outdoor aviary of the "De Passiflorahoeve" (Passiflorafarm) in Harskamp, the Net herlands.
De Chinese gele page (Papilio xuthus), ook Japanse en Aziatische page genoemd, is een middelgrote tot grote geelzwarte vlinder uit gematigd oost Azië. De vlinder wordt aangetroffen in Japan, Korea, oost- en zuidoostelijk China, Taiwan, de Philipijnen en noordelijk Myanmar. De vlinder is in 1971 succesvol op Hawaï geïntroduceerd.
De vlinder komt voornamelijk voor in de valleien en bij grotere beken en rivieren, in gemengde bossen, maar ook op akkers en in parken van zeeniveau tot circa 1000 meter hoogte.
Met een vleugelspanwijdte van 6,0 Ã 11,5 cm is de Chinese gele page een middelgrote tot grote page (family Papilonidae).
De basiskleur van de vlinder is licht geel in verschillende tinten en meerdere zwarte patronen. De boven- en onderkant zijn vrijwel gelijk, maar de bovenkant heeft meer zwart en de onderkant meer geel. Zowel mannetjes als vrouwtjes hebben aan de achtervleugels staartjes, een kenmerk van veel pages.
De vlinders vliegen tussen mei en augustus in twee generaties.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de buitenvolière van zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe noordelijk van Arnhem. Info www.passiflorahoeve.nl/

Jess bought a blanket while we were on the trip and ended up using it to say warm while I took photos.
It was freezing in the mornings when we went out and it didn't get warm until ~10am. These photos were taken right at 8am.
I was able to visit Page, AZ and Lower Antelope Canyon after a business trip in Las Vegas. I arranged for two 2hr photography tours so I could get the morning and afternoon light. All I can say is that this place is magical! It was on my "Bucket List" and I just might have to go back again. I'll be posting some more images over the next few days and I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Thank you for visiting my Photostream and for your faves and comments.
Some information on Lower Antelope Canyon...
Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. The light beams that appear at different spots in the canyon during mid day are the highlight of Upper Antelope, while the rock formations are the focus of Lower Antelope.
The number of visitors has increased significantly in recent years. It is still well worth visiting and can provide for some striking images, but photographing amongst the crowd has become a stressful experience even if the Navajo guides do a good job with crowd control if you are in one of the "Photographer Tours".
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánÃlÃnÃ, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon is HazdistazÃ, or "spiral rock arches."
Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock.

Slicing up post-halloween pumpkins has been an ongoing tradition for the past 5 years.
This is the first year where I've been equipped enough to make something really cool out of it!
Unfortunately, (or fortunately), I haven't been able to figure out which of these three is the best and would invite you to leave a fave or comment to let me know which one you prefer!
I think each has their own strengths and weaknesses XD
I highly recommend you check out the SETUP SHOT

Today the plant is mostly rubble, the E60's have been sliced and diced and i imagine the rest of the cars are gone as well. But on the day I took this photo it was a normal day, after 036 had a traction motor fail it was swapped out. Here 4 NdeM E60C's are about to leave page with another empty train for the mine. The 6006, EA036 and the only diesel # 5301 are all visible here.
LAGALAG is a flickr group spear-headed by my good friend, Wilfredo Pascual. It's a moleskine traveling notebook project for Filipinos who, like me, are living the great diaspora.

nalilito, napipikon, naduduwal, sa alun-alon
walang humpay, pagkataranta
parang trumpong nasasalanta
ng bagyo, ng lindol, hilo't lasing, paungol-ungol
walang tigil na paggawa
ibong ligaw sa tubig-baha
lipad, ibon, lipad
kay dilim man ng paligid
liwanag ay sasabog din
mararating iyong hardin
lipad, ibon, lipad
kay lalim man ng bangin
sundan mo lang mga bituin
langit ay maabot rin
Having grown up near Chicago, getting to see the Belt Railway of Chicago C424 #605 is always one of the highlights of a trip to the A&M for me. This one is sitting in the dead line (along with the 604), but still looks every bit ready to lead a transfer out of Clearing.
I don't know how long this one will continue to look like this, but I can only imagine how good it would look in Union, IL, reunited with their BRC transfer caboose.
