La isla de Margarita está ubicada al sureste del mar Caribe, noreste venezolano, al norte de la península de Araya del estado Sucre. Junto a las islas de Coche y Cubagua, constituye el único estado insular de Venezuela, denominado Nueva Esparta. La isla desempeñó un papel importante en la historia de independencia de Venezuela.

 

Es la mayor de las islas del Caribe venezolano, se encuentra situada entre las latitudes 10° 52' y 11° 11' N y las longitudes 63° 47' y 64° 24' 0. Posee 1.072 km² y está caracterizada por la presencia de dos macizos montañosos unidos entre sí por un istmo de relieve muy bajo, una albufera (La Restinga) y una simple línea de playa. El macizo occidental se conoce con el nombre de Península de Macanao y el oriental como Paraguachoa (nombre que le daban a los indígenas a la isla, que significa lugar de abundancia de peces), aunque es frecuentemente denominado Margarita Oriental. En ella se encuentra la capital del estado, La Asunción y otras importantes ciudades como Porlamar, Pampatar, San Juan Bautista y Juan Griego.

 

Se caracteriza principalmente por un clima tropical seco semi-árido acompañado de un sol radiante, en gran medida en la península de Macanao. La temperatura media es de 27ºC con mínimas que oscilan entre 22º y 23ºC y máximas que pueden superar fácilmente los 34ºC. Existen excepciones como el cerro Copey en donde se puede percibir un tipo de clima montañoso en donde la temperatura puede descender drásticamente a los 14ºC. Las precipitaciones son comunes en los meses de invierno o estación lluviosa que empieza a mediados de julio-octubre. No se han registrado nevadas ni granizadas en la isla de Margarita. Por estar ubicada en el mar Caribe, cerca del ecuador terrestre, los rayos solares inciden perpendicularmente sobre la isla y por ello es recomendable usar siempre algún tipo de bloqueador solar al momento de visitar sus playas.

 

En la isla de Margarita los efectos climáticos y/o edáficos han producido una mezcla de zonas de vida, con variados ecosistemas que comprenden desde la maleza desértica tropical, en las zonas bajas y secas, h

asta el monte espinoso y el bosque seco tropical en zonas de mayor altura. En el cerro Copey se encuentra el bosque húmedo premontano y en las zonas pantanosas y salinas abundan los manglares. Las especies más representativas son olivos, dividive y pardillo, alrededor de los cerros Copey, Matasiete y Guaraguao. El bosque muy seco se encuentra en áreas de vegetación muy intervenida. Las principales especies son: cují, guatacare, guamache, cardón, dividive y olivo. Los espinares y las malezas desérticas, formaciones dominantes del estado, ocupan las llanuras costeras. Sus principales especies son abrojo, cují, yaque, orégano, tuna, cardón, dividive, guamache y otras. Las concentraciones de manglares se localizan en La Restinga, Las Marites y otras zonas de agua costaneras. Las especies más importantes son el mangle colorado, botoncillo y el mangle negro.

I found my first Orange Tips of the year yesterday including this very fresh male. I had to be patient after spotting him settle when the clouds came over, it took 30 mins before the sun reappeared and he opened his wings and flew off a few seconds later.

Night time is the right time. Hird Transport's Scania tipping asphalt on the A63 Castle Street Hull.

Back Garden - first female I've photographed this year.

The tipper body is progressing. I just need to hinge the side panels and fit mudguards.

At last!

My first butterfly photo of the year. Early in the morning a brimstone flew through my garden but this butterfly settled on the back of one of my solar sheep in early afternoon.

A job as a labourer on the Wulong Mine spoil tip is not a happy one in western eyes, but these workers are not only bemused at visitors but friendly beyond belief, apparently quite used to the many photographers that now appear from all corners of the globe to visit this most inhospitable of places. Fuxin city in Liaoning Province unfolds below as Fuxin Mining Railway 'SY' class 2-8-2 No.1195 waits for its spoil train to be dealt with in a 21st century manner, more traditional tools still being relied upon to add those final finishing touches to the mountain of waste material created over decades of deep and opencast mining. A traditional 'tuc-tuc' vehicle has found its way to the top of the tip to transport a labourer home, such vehicles being quite rare now in the Fuxin area, being replaced widespread by electric-powered vehicles, but still having the added luxury of coal-fired stoves for keeping passengers warm!. This scene, quite incredible for 2016, can surely not last for much longer in the ever-evolving China of the 21st century.

On Greater Stitchwort Wildflower

There was some sun when I set off for my usual walk and I saw a few butterflies on the roadside as I headed for the reserve. However by the time I got there it was overcast, so I headed back.

This was one of those seen - all were either female orange tips or other whites.

Orange-tip, Anthocharis cardamines seen here on a Dead Nettle, Lamium purpureum, known as red dead-nettle, purple dead-nettle, purple archangel, or velikdenche, is a herbaceous flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. Wikipedia

Tip

Sometimes natural light is more than enough.

So always also shoot some images with the available light it might be that you don't need the strobes ;)

It was worth a few nettle stings to get this shot of mating Orange Tips. The male on the left, the female on the right.

This dramatic headland is situated in the northern-most tip of BORNEO, the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. It is located in the Kudat Peninsula, about three and a half hours (or 215 kilometres) drive from Kota Kinabalu City.

 

Simpang Mengayau means 'lingering junction' as it is here that the South China Sea lingers and meets the Sulu Seas flowing from the east ... Enjoy the stunning view. The sunsets and full moons are just beautiful ... The Pulau Kalampunian lighthouse is a reminder of treacherous coastline and past shipwrecks. On the left is the beautiful beach of Pantai Kalampunian.

 

It's a lovely easy stroll to the flagpole, the Globe and the rocky outcrop that forms the "Tip of Borneo".
