MACRO MONDAYS "PAINTED" theme.

See full size image below, the small squares are 1".

I just thought I'd upload one last picture of this fading Painted Lady to make it a hattrick to finish off this series. She's still Beautiful in my eyes and I'm pleased to have captured her...

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument,Oregon.

 

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. (Wikipedia)

I haven't seen a Painted skimmer in a few weeks. These are often our first skimmers on the wing as early as March & can fly into July.

 

Our rain is supposed to wrap up but we have an Evil East Wind with clouds today - and it rained again last night. Next 3 days are supposed to be sunny & nice ...

"I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes..."

Just out of the car wash, as Matt says. lolll

This little painted bunting is down low dining on last season's dry seeds. Unusual for this time of year when they dine mostly on insects.

 

Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Same composition but time taken delay in 3 minute, causing different cloud color and more brighter than previous photo. The clouds are scaly due to the refraction of light. Very impressed.

A Painted Lady butterfly in Agios Georgios on Cyprus.

You may have heard about California's "superbloom" - vast fields and bursts of wildflowers everywhere. Turns out, it's good for the Painted Lady butterfly migration as well. Hundreds, thousands, millions of them are heading from near the Mexican border to our Pacific Northwest. Finally they found my yard, which is just bursting with color. This one lighted on a bloom of sea lavender. Mostly, I see Monarchs come through here, but the Painted Ladies are only occasional and just darned special. I hung in my yard for about an hour today and watched and photographed them as they flitted silently from flower to flower. What a joy indeed.

Yesterday I was allowed to take the 50mm 2.8 Xenar with me to take some flowers. The changing light sometimes resulted in pictures with a watercolor look. Shot with aperture f4.0 + 11mm extension tube.

A painted lady butterfly, the one butterfly species that has been abundant here this fall (not counting all the little skippers).

 

The painted lady (Vanessa cardui) is the most widespread of all butterflies in the world. It is found throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and Central America. In most years, the painted lady moves north out of the deserts of northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. to temporarily colonize the United States and Canada south of the Arctic. Periodically, enormous migrations from these deserts inundate areas of the country, so it can be locally very abundant at times.
