Two pairs of "Argynnis paphia" butterflies feeding on a flower in summer sunny day

Hi there,

I recently spotted this pair of dahlias at a local park. What caught my attention were the subtle colour variations within the petals.

Thank you for taking the time to view and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

Paare gibt es genug, große und kleine, dicke und dünne, ich habe mich für ein Paar Ohringe entschieden die ich gerne trage, dazu gibt es noch einen Anhänger in der der Größe wie die Ohrringe sind. Liebe Freunde, Danke für Euren Besuch, ein Kommentar und Stern ist auch willkommen.

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Tag und eine entspannte Woche, liebe Freunde. Seid achtsam und bleibt gesund!

There are enough pairs, big and small, thick and thin, I have chosen a pair of earrings that I like to wear, plus a pendant in the same size as the earrings are. Dear friends, thank you for visiting, a comment and star is also welcome.

I wish you a good day and a relaxing week, dear friends. Be mindful and stay healthy!

Les paires sont suffisantes, grandes et petites, épaisses et fines, j'ai choisi une paire de boucles d'oreilles que j'aime porter, de plus il y a un pendentif de la même taille que les boucles d'oreilles. Chers amis, merci de votre visite, un commentaire et une étoile sont également les bienvenus.

Passez une bonne journée et une semaine de détente, chers amis. Soyez attentifs et restez en bonne santé !

Une autre paire

On the niger seed feeder in Wales

I went to the Sandhill Crane Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting four days of rain but we had two nice afternoons of some sunshine otherwise it would have been disappointing for photograhy! One of the rainy evenings I was thrilled to see hundreds if not more than a thousand cranes arrive to Creamer's Field in Fairbanks. Here I've captured two cranes coming in to one of the fields to eat and rest for a bit on their migration south.

This Bald Eagle pair (Male-upper left, Female-lower right) share a bough and bask in the early morning sunshine.

Few more day before I put my waterlilies in the pond.

Happy Sunday!

Taken through the window. Greenfinches have been absent from our garden for many years so it was nice to see this pair enjoying the sunflower seeds I put out.

This image took one hour waiting for this moment. The temperature was high and these butterflies are fast. I got lucky to capture two in one image.

Stonechat - Saxicola Torquata

The stonechat is 11.5–13 cm long and weighs 13–17 g, slightly smaller than the European robin. Both sexes have distinctively short wings, shorter than those of the more migratory whinchat and Siberian stonechat.

The summer male has black upperparts, a black head, an orange throat and breast, and a white belly and vent. It also has a white half-collar on the sides of its neck, a small white scapular patch on the wings, and a very small white patch on the rump often streaked with black. The female has brown upperparts and head, and no white neck patches, rump or belly, these areas being streaked dark brown on paler brown, the only white being the scapular patch on the wings and even this often being buffy-white.

European stonechats breed in heathland, coastal dunes and rough grassland with scattered small shrubs and bramble, open gorse, tussocks or heather. They are short-distance migrants or non-migratory, with part of the population (particularly from northeastern parts of the range, where winters are colder) moving south to winter further south in Europe and more widely in north Africa.
