Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

One of the rollerbladers last night in the Grand Palais, doing a grind on a metallic railing . No special effects here, this is straight out of the camera :-)
If you look closely (easier with large size), you can see the 2 dark silhouettes of the skater still jumping onto the rail a moment before, and sliding a moment after. I'm not sure what caused this, might be a combination of my own flash and someone's else on the other side I think ?

♪ ♫ We Don't Talk Anymore ♪ ♫ ~~ by Cliff Richard.
Used to think that life was sweet,
Used to think we were so complete,
I can't believe you'd throw it away.
Used to feel we had it made,
Used to feel we could sail away,
Can you imagine how I feel today,
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one,
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one,
Do you know what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
Well it really doesn't matter to me,
I guess your leaving was meant to be,
It's down to you now you wanna be free,
Well I hope you know which way to go you're on your own again,
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one,
Remember what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

I found this guy on a petrified log as I was making my way to the Agate House. He was extremely interested in sunning himself, and I was happy enough making portraits of him at 400 millimeters. After about five minutes he got spooked by a bird of prey (golden eagle), and scampered away under another near by log.
•These animals are possibly best known for their speed. Like the frilled lizard and basilisk, collared lizards can run on their hind legs for long periods of time. Record speeds have been around 35 mi/h (56 km/h). They look like small dinosaurs when they're running on their hind legs. -Wikipedia

We have seen this many times in different ways and this is my version.
It has become a popular tourist attraction since it was featured as Scaramanga's Island in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974.
Not much editing has been done other than colour blending.
Trivia
Very less people knows the actual name of this island. It is called Koh Tapu in Thai which means ''nail hill''. Source: Wikipedia

Castell de Montornés, Desert de les Palmes, Benicàssim (Castelló de la plana)
El castillo de Montornés, situado en el término municipal de Benicàssim en la provincia de Castelló es una fortaleza de origen árabe del siglo X construida sobre restos de origen romano, que se sitúa sobre una escarpada cima en la sierra del Desert de les Palmes, a 4 kilómetros de la población y a una altura de 500 m en situación estratégica para la defensa de la zona, dominando un gran espacio marítimo entre las desembocaduras del Coves y del Mijares.
Esta fortaleza forma un triángulo con la torre San Vicente y con la casoleta de Salandó, que probablemente tuvieron la función de reforzar su defensa.
Se trata de un castillo montano de planta irregular, con tres recintos amurallados.
Cuenta con dos torres, una de ellas de planta cuadrangular que domina el valle de Miravet y la otra cilíndrica sobre el acantilado situado a espaldas del castillo.
Del primer recinto solo se conservan los lienzos oriental y meridional con algunos arranques de torres y del segundo recinto solo son visibles los cimientos de murallas y un aljibe al interior.
Del recinto interior se conserva varios lienzos en ángulo, situándose en este otro aljibe.
Los terrenos sobre los que se sitúa el Castillo fueron poblados desde la edad de Bronce, y posteriormente en la época de las ocupaciones romana y musulmana.
A finales del siglo XI perteneció a Pedro I el Grande, pero con la presencia almorávide y la muerte del Cid en 1099 las posesiones de Pedro I se ven seriamente amenazadas, siendo conquistado por los almorávides en 1103 y pasando definitivamente a dominios cristianos en 1234. Es abandonado en el siglo XVII.

After a narrow escape, our heroes crash-landed on the remote world of Maridun. Stranded, and with no way to contact the Republic, the Jedi receive medical aid from the peaceful Lurmen colonists. But even on this tiny planet, the war threatens to follow the Jedi....
Star Wars The Clone Wars means so much to me. It defined so much of my childhood all the way into my teenage years, and even now it still impacts me. Then you also have Rebels, it never ends haha :P
I'll currently rewatching Star Wars the Clone wars in canon order and am close to finishing Season 5. Still such incredible content! As I've been going I've been jotting down ideas from episodes I want to build, and this was one of the first on the list. This is of course from the Episode Jedi Crash. I have lots more planned (and currently have 2 others built) So get hyped. But yeah you know, exciting! There'll be MOC's from Seasons 1 through to 5 and most likely even the Lost Missions too.
I know I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 more time then I can remember, and this episode was always a very enjoyable one for me. Not my favourite by any means, but very enjoyable!

This is bamboo.
I'm exhausted beyond words. I'm getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night, no more than that. I'm bombarded with school and homework. Geometry quiz, two sections of history notes and Q&A, and an entire double-page spread for the yearbook all due on Friday, none of which I have started, none of which I have the damn time to do. I'm beat, so bad I want to cry. The worst part is, when I get into my bed, no matter how early or how late, it takes me hours to fall asleep. Hours.
I want a cure.
289 to go.

Yo no veo otra salida, no quiero pasar la vida
sin que la vida pase a través de mí...
Y aunque me pierda completamente, no voy a ser yo
quien se esconda de lo que siente, no voy a ser yo
No voy a pisar el freno, no voy a ser yo
el que se ande con más o menos, no voy a ser yo
Hay gente que no debería involucrarse
con cosas que luego no pueden manejar.
Yo no veo otra salida, no quiero pasar la vida,
pisando una piedra y volviéndola a pisar...

L'Obelisco Lateranense è uno dei tredici obelischi antichi di Roma; attualmente si trova a piazza San Giovanni in Laterano.
Con la sua altezza di 32,18 m (con il basamento e la croce raggiunge i 45,70 m.) è l'obelisco più alto del mondo.
Fu realizzato all'epoca dei faraoni Tutmosis III e Tutmosis IV (XV secolo a.C.) e proviene dal tempio di Ammone a Tebe (Karnak) in Egitto. Fu portato a Roma per volere dell'imperatore Costanzo II nel 357 ed eretto dal praefectus urbi Memmio Vitrasio Orfito sulla spina del Circo Massimo, dove già si trovava l'obelisco Flaminio.
Venne ritrovato in tre pezzi nel 1587, insieme all'obelisco Flaminio, e fu eretto nella sua attuale collocazione nel 1588 dall'architetto Domenico Fontana per volontà di papa Sisto V.

97/365 - Just Say Yes - Snow Patrol
Please take my heart... Love that band and that song so much, the lyrics are beautiful, heard it again this morning on the TV, don't know why but it speaks a lot to me.
So I decided to get back on the idea of choosing a music first, and then realize some picture using the inspiration I found. I think it's the most difficult but exciting way to play with lyrics.
So that's what happened today, I decided to use this song and that's the idea I found for today's shot.
This is the Saint Catherine street, just the longest pedestrian street of Europe in the deep center of Bordeaux.
There's always so much people and shops over there, it's amazing.
Spent a great afternoon with my friend Julien, thanks to him for the picture !
One thing you don't know is how much this picture and the concept illustrate perfectly Julien's yesterday !
It's really too funny, the composition and the picture is relatively simple but I'm really proud of this one.

He is an artist, the best that I came across, who absorbs his thoughts through apertures, mesmerizes his viewers with each shutter click and paints his pictures with the grandeur mix of light and shadow. In his spirit he stands tall beyond anything. He is a man I consider a mentor, and a man I know to be a friend.
Folks years come and then they end, but the memories we build up last forever. In many ways 2011 is going to be one of those years for me that will define me for years to come. I hope you will all have a blissful and progressive 2011.

Random Fact du jour: I actually went through a rather 'girly' stage about 11 years ago, and I, in fact, collected fairy things. I was obsessed with Amy Brown and Jessica Galbreth. I choose that as the defining cause behind my sock addiction...all those stripey-legged fairies just permeated my brain.

Luz de otoño
Afuera; en las calles hay olvido de vehementes tormentas.
Afuera; desde las ramas de un árbol sigue brillando el sol.
Afuera; sopla el viento revolviendo las hojas apagadas
y el silencio se torna más mudo todavía.
Hay un gris que despierta en el aire deshojando mi aliento,
hay un rumbo que me invita a tomarlo por las veredas solitarias.
Seguirlo es, para mí, una manera de decir;
caminemos juntos.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus pliegues.
Es la manera de decirlo todo sin pronunciar palabra.
Es la pausa de algo, el por qué de alguien.
Es estar solo y a la vez acompañado
en la intimidad indecente de la conciencia.
El repiqueteo constante de una agradable nostalgia
que se vuelca sobre las calles que camino.
Es estar parado donde siempre quise:
sobre la sombra de un árbol desnudo.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus manos
para dormirlo todo.
Soñarlo es para mí una manera de decir;
ven, el otoño, más que mío es tuyo,
más que tuyo, es nuestro…
ven, para que entremedio de los árboles sin hojas,
por una vez, por esta vez, caminemos juntos.

We attended a landscape photo workshop yesterday (Sunday). Not too close - 4hr drive to location in South Moravia, Czech Rep. so we had to wake up at 4am and got back home too tired around 11pm. But it was so worth it. Location was stunning and well known by the pro photographer who was leading the workshop. And he even managed to secure ideal weather somehow LOL. Area was full of rolling hills that are used for agriculture so the fields were vibrant and varied. Sky was nice and blue almost all day with those puffy white clouds moving very fast in the strong wind and that resulted in an amazing light&shadow show on the fields.
At one moment I spotted a triangle illuminated in the sea of shadows so I immediately turned the ball head on my tripod, prefocused manually, adjusted polarizer & 1-stop hard edge grad filter, set the exposure and fired. Post process included only the adjustment of the levels to achieve better contrast, tiny bit of saturation and square crop.
Didn't have time to play with all the photos yet but this one is my personal winner - at least I think so ;) Anyways... expect more photos soon.
Thanks for looking!
Your feedback is always appreciated ;)

We arrived in Tahoe early in the afternoon, did the whirlwind tour of Tahoe. What a pretty day, sunny, warm and party cloudy. Our first goal was to scout out the location of known photo ops, but also to find some new ones. We found several areas that we are going to go back to when the weather is better. A few parts in the back country, which I am really happy about. Since I have been trying to get Jim to go on a back packing trip for years.
Our scouting led us into Nevada to look for the elusive bonsai rock. Luckily, I had a GPS with the coordinates. So I set the GPS to navigate, so we would know how close we were to the parking/trailhead as we drove south. I looked over the edge of the cliff and could see bonsai, but the GPS still said 4.2 miles, then after another minute of driving the GPS beeped to illustrate that we were there. Oh well, just goes to show that technology still has a way to go.
We took the long straight down, boulder hoping route to bonsai. With camera gear, wading boots and extra warm clothes in tow... it was a bit of a journey. Luckily, we spent a few hours there, so the trip was worth it.
I posting an image from twilight, since Jim's sunset can not be beat.

Today is Daffodil Day. We were all up early this morning in the Murphy house. Just as well, as the sunrise was beautiful. It didn't last long though and the clouds soon turned to rain by school time. I used the diffused light from the cloudy day here. My model was not her usual, obliging self, and took some coaxing. I thought the subject appropriate seeing the time of year and worthy cause. I wanted to try and capture the 'Scent of Spring' - as if a photo could do that! Here the radiance exuded by the daffodil is being absorbed by the little girl. A simple idea. I used colour popping to enhance the effect. I was equally happy with the full colour shot and I combined it with a High Key black and white conversion.
The shot; A single Raw file taken on the tri-pod. Processed with a tone Curve and Saturation boost. From this I made the b/w copy and added it as the top layer to the colour shot. Then erased elements of the b/w layer to reveal the colour elements in the Background colour layer. After flattening, I added some blur to the edges and framed it. ISO 100. 1/60 at f/2.8. No flash used, just the natural unfiltered light from the window. See the set-up below. I never go anywhere without my sheet of Black Felt, truly excellent stuff.
Certainly felt that way, standing at the top of the Prudential tower :) I can't help but notice the letter N formed by the light trails at the bustling streets of downtown Boston. The view from here was amazing. Highly recommended for anyone planing to visit Boston. Since, this was supposed to be a bird's eye-view, Logan had to be somewhere right? Well there is an entire plane trail for you to id Logan easily! Anyone enthusiastic about night photography may find the following documentary interesting.

It's been a very long day at work today, left the house at 7:30 this morning, got back at 9:30 tonight and have had a somewhat hectic time inbetween (productive though!) I'm quite surprised I managed to remember to take a photo of the day tonight with the little brain function I have left! LOL!
There is (as often the case!) a bit of a story here. Some of the older children at school were selling flowers this evening as part of their enterprise project. When I left to come home there was just one sad and lonely and very wilted gerbera sitting in a bucket of water. It looked such a sad specimen I couldn't resist taking it home, giving it a trim and some water and then immortalising it with a photo! There's something quite satisfying about taking an ugly duckling and turning into a swan! ;-))
Anyway, the Gerbera has perked up and I'm waffling, I should really go to bed! Will catch up tomorrow! :-)
O è il riflesso della luna o sei proprio bella, se vuoi siediti!
hai parcheggiato e camminato non sai quanto non sai dove sei, ma sei qui
lontana da te, lontana da voi, lontana da uno specchio che non dice chi sei
se sotto il cielo c'è qualcosa di speciale passerà di qui prima o poi
prima o poi, comunque tu lo sai ......
