At least I think this is a female Dun Skipper, but correct me if I'm wrong. Can anyone name the flower, because I can't seem to find it in my book.

From the group administrator... Jill.
"I don't think there are many of us that don't know someone - a friend, relative, co-worker that may have struggled with this terrible disease. October is normally Breast Cancer Awareness month... so please let your girls don their PINKS in honor of all the brave women that fight and live with this disease every day, as well as those that may have lost their fight... we remember...
*THINK PINK! "

The Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), Barbary ape, or magot, is a species of macaque unique for its distribution outside Asia and for its vestigial tail. Found in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco along with a small population that were introduced from Morocco to Gibraltar, the Barbary macaque is one of the best-known Old World monkey species.
Skull and brain, as illustrated in Gervais' Histoire naturelle des mammifères.
The Barbary macaque is of particular interest because males play an atypical role in rearing young. Because of uncertain paternity, males are integral to raising all infants. Generally, Barbary macaques of all ages and sexes contribute in alloparental care of young.
Macaque diets consist primarily of plants and insects and they are found in a variety of habitats. Males live to a maximum of 25 years while females may live up to 30 years. Besides humans, they are the only free-living primates in Europe. Although the species is commonly referred to as the "Barbary ape", the Barbary macaque is actually a true monkey. Its name refers to the Barbary Coast of North West Africa.

I think this may be my favorite photograph that I had taken while I was in New York. If you look back at the two other photographs of this boy, he was fascinated by a turtle that was around him. It swam away. And what other way to entertain oneself than jump from rock to rock. He and his brother were having a contest on who could jump the farthest. As I was leaving the turtle pond I was anticipating a splash from one of the boys falling into the water. I heard no such splash (which I think is astonishing, and a little thing about me is that I am a MAJOR klutz, I sprained my ankle over a year ago by walking, by walking. Pretty sure that take talent to do something like that.)
And of course here are my other social media sites

Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways from Messina from the north and Catania .Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
Taormina è un comune di 10.991 abitanti della provincia di Messina. E' uno dei centri balneari di maggiore rilievo di tutta la regione. Il suo aspetto, il suo paesaggio, i suoi luoghi, le sue bellezze riescono ad attirare turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.
Situata su una collina a 206 m di altezza sul livello del mare , sospesa tra rocce e mare su un terrazzo del monte Tauro, in uno scenario di bellezze naturali unico per varietà e contrasti di motivi , splendore di colori e lussureggiante vegetazione . Il clima è dolcemente mite , piogge scarse durante l'estate, ma non si tratta di un clima arido. Molto belle le mezze stagioni , Primavera e Autunno infatti vantano un clima ideale mite.
La storia di Taormina è sicuramente costellata da molteplici dominazioni, e questo è possibile vederlo passeggiando per le strade del centro storico che mostrano i segni lasciati dai vari popoli passati per Taomina. Essendo situata al centro del mediterraneo la Sicilia fu sempre una preda ambita per la sua posizione strategica di passaggio,situata sulla parte est e in posizione fortificata su una collina permetteva già da allora di controllare buona parte della costa ionica e ha sempre rappresentato un ottimo punto di fortificazione e controllo nelle stradegie di guerra. Dopo aver attestato l'esistenza di una sede di siculi ( antichi abitanti dell'isola, detti anche sicani) presso Taormina, per certo vi passarono e vi lasciarono le loro tracce I Greci, i Romani, i Saraceni, dunque gli Arabi, i Bizantini ,I Normanni , Gli Aragonesi , e per ultimi i Borboni.

Can Men Get Breast Cancer?
Men can also get breast cancer. In men, breast cancer can happen at any age, but is most common in men who are between 60 and 70 years old. Male breast cancer is not very common. For every 100 cases of breast cancer, less than 1 is in men.
For men, signs of breast cancer and treatment are almost the same as for women. For more information, visit the National Cancer Institute (NCI) – General Information About Male Breast Cancer.

I remember the first time I was introduced to ThinkTank Bags by my buddy Don. I had a Lowepro at the time and he had ThinkTank. He was talking to me about them as we walked the tradeshow floor at WPPI. When he mentioned that the ThinkTank Bags cost anywhere from $300 to $700 dollars I just about had a heart attack. I said to him, "What a rip off. Who in their right mind would pay that much for a bag?!"
He smiled and said, "Once you own one, you'll understand. They have a lifetime warranty so once you buy it, you'll never have to replace it as long as you live."
Well, just as luck would have it the handle on my Lowepro had just broken and so I took the plunge and bought the Airport Security for nearly $450. It was a hard pill to swallow but I am OH SO GLAD that I did. I love ThinkTank bags and I have literally dragged my Security through 4 different continents and about 20 different countries since I bought it two years ago.
Last year I was asked to become an affiliate with ThinkTank and I couldn't be happier. Anytime I need replacement parts, they are there. They take care of what wears out so you are never out of pocket on any repairs.
The picture you see is of my new International bag that I received today next to my Airport Security that has been in service for 2 years. Their customer service is fantastic, and their bags are amazing. It's the best money you can spend to protect your gear.

I'd like to think over time my photography will continue to improve and I will be getting shots I've always wanted. This should happen through learning new fieldcraft and all the places I can visit for a range of wildlife. There is already a range of new techniques I've found to improve my shots and there's still more to learn and put in practise.
I've also found there is a great deal of improvement to be gained from learning how to edit your images well particularly if you shoot Raw. I'll be honest I see no point in shooting Jpeg for wildlife as there is always a fair amount of editing required. I feel that from moving my workflow over to Photoshop elements I have gained a much greater set of tools for editing my images and best of all I'm learning more and more how to improve my editing for exposure, colours and sharpness. I may not always be happy with my images as I always feel they could be better I guess I'm harsh on myself but maybe thats what pushes me to get better images and be picky on what I post to the web.
I feel like this is a point in my steam where it's relevant to reflect back on what the winter has brought us in terms of photo opportunities and what the spring and summer will hold before it's all too quickly gone and were back to freezing again.
As the summer migrants move back in to the UK I'll be hoping to focus my attentions on them. I feel I have taken enough of the all year round UK woodland birds and now would like to try the more challenging migrant birds at least when i can.
Oh and the picture is a fresh edit of an winter shot I was really fond of, I'll post that one before and hopefully the improvements are clear, even though as I look at the 2 I'm debating if it is!
I wish everyone the the best for the spring and summer and I hope to see many of your wonderful wildlife pictures, as I really do enjoy them!
