Dorsal view
I like to get both dorsal and ventral views if I can. I posted both views of this one.
Wagner Natural Area. Parkland County, Alberta.
Civil disagreements and other banalities.
Nobody got slapped in the making of this photo. Sort of.

It is very cold here with a lot of new snow. I have been thinking about how nice it will be to photograph butterflies again. The butterfly images I will post are from last summer from files I didn’t work on because I already had posted good shots of the species.
In a few cases, later I got as good or better shots of already posted species, so I decided to work on some favorites until I feel like venturing out again.
" It started small and polite,
something easy to ignore.
A clean room, a quiet promise,
then a change in the air.
The walls stayed spotless,
the surface stayed calm,
but the smell underneath
kept getting brave.
You don’t notice the spread
when it wears good manners.
You don’t hear the teeth
when the bite is slow.
It doesn’t break the door.
It moves in.
Infested, under the skin of the day,
breathing through routine.
Infested, in the soft places,
where comfort turns obscene.
The body stays presentable,
the mind stays “fine,”
and the rot learns timing
like it’s trained.
Guilt arrives with clean hands,
shame arrives dressed to match.
Everything ugly gets renamed
until it sounds like growth.
Desire gets fed in private,
then paraded as control.
The same mouth that preaches restraint
can swallow anything whole.
Nothing feels infected at first,
it feels familiar.
That’s why it wins
without raising its voice.
The worst things don’t chase.
They settle.
Infested, under the skin of the day,
quiet enough to keep.
Infested, in the background,
where secrets learn to breathe.
You keep moving like nothing changed,
while something inside rearranges
what “normal” means.
Purity is a costume.
Take it off and watch people relax.
The truth doesn’t hurt most—
it disgusts.
LET IT CRAWL
Infested, and still functioning,
still smiling on cue.
The room stays bright,
the story stays clean,
and the infection stays useful.
The real horror isn’t that something moved in, it’s that it found everything already prepared for it and simply started living there like it belonged ... "

My photo was chosen and a brighter more bustling shot of the Nottingham Christmas Market but I simply can't bring myself to upload it. Instead this pretty and friendly little Robin I shall share with you. I know some of my friends are going away for Christmas and some have already gone but to those still who haven't I hope for you a Wonderful a Christmas as possible and a Happy New Year...Sue xx
I would politely ask that you don’t invite me to groups with fbanners badges or awards..post one comment on three etc
I simply haven’t the time..thanks Sue xx
to speak with mouth full LoL. When I go to this one spot the water fowl can be so close I can touch them. Most know me. Often the Mom & Dad goose will bring me their young to feed. They luv their corn. This beauty was dredching bottom of pond (real close) for good food.
I am still trying to get the many small and orangish and brown Skippers straight. The diagonal mark evident on the right wing of this specimen gives it the name "Long Dash".
Thanks again to John Acorn from the University of Alberta.
Fort Saskatchewan Prairie, Alberta.

The Peck's skipper, is a North American butterfly in the family Hesperiidae (skippers), subfamily Hesperiinae (grass skippers). This skipper ranges across Canada from British Columbia, as far north as Cartwright, Labrador; Moar Lake, Ontario; Leaf Rapids, Manitoba; and the Hay River area in Alberta. In the US, it ranges in most of the northern and central states, except on the west coast. (Wikipedia)
This is a fine example of quintessential Canadian humour.
Perhaps it's an outgrowth of being a culturally diverse nation; good manners and a bit of fun have helped us all (or most of us) to get along.
It's also something we're known to collectively tease each other about. :-)
