Landscape from "Ponta da Piedade", close to Lagos, Algarve, Portugal. This area is sorrounded by fascinating giant cliffs and the beaches are among the most beautiful in the world. From this place, small boats transports tourists to visit the inumerous caves in the rocks.
I'm back from holiday! Now it's time to get some rest.
This shot is made at North sea beach in Sotra island, Bergen, Norway.
The way I like the most of the water is in the sea when the waves crash violently against the cliffs, lighthouses, or rocks like these, time flies by contemplating the sway of the water...
Center focus on a Spot Swordtail in a sea of mud=puddling butterflies.
Wikipedia: Graphium nomius, the spot swordtail, is a butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. The spot swordtail gets its name from the line of distinct white spots along the margin of its wings. It is known from southern and eastern India (including Sikkim and Assam), Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea.

Mud-puddling, or simply puddling, is a behavior most conspicuous in butterflies, but occurs in other animals as well, mainly insects; they seek out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion and they suck up the fluid. Where the conditions are suitable, conspicuous insects such as butterflies commonly form aggregations on wet soil, dung or carrion. From the fluids they obtain salts and amino acids that play various roles in their physiology, ethology and ecology. This behavior also has been seen in some other insects, notably the leafhoppers, e.g. the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae.
