"Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart."

Your tp to the ever beautiful Panjin
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...
At Monterey - California - USA. Enjoying some fresh clamshells.
Happy Tuesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

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.
