Two swarms (No. 7&8 from TBH 2&4) within minutes of one another, in the confusion they gathered together in one spot, and since it was so high, they left together a few hours later heading Southwest.I wish them luck!

These two butterflies were tussling for a moment, they reminded me of hummingbirds with how beautiful they look and how prone to violence they are.
This is me on my unicycle and my crazy 4 year old (he's really one of the coolest little guys in the world).... Wish I could figure out how he turned out that way! This is a self portrait btw... if you look real close-like, you can see the wireless remote in my hand.
;-)
"He entered uninvited, but left a terrible mark on our HQ. I'll never forget that man's face; a scar over his left eye, a stoic yet angered look one his face. And those 1911s...did he know how to use 'em..."

I like how they were posing and the overall composition.
The right one is a female called "Bones", you can see the name written on her harness. :)

Portugal has some of the most impressing two storied cloisters I have ever seen ...
Portugal hat einige der schönsten zweigeschossigen Kreuzgänge, die ich je gesehen habe ...
The Manueline or Portuguese late Gothic, is the sumptuous, composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century, incorporating maritime elements and representations of the discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral.
This innovative style synthesizes aspects of Late Gothic architecture with influences of the Spanish Plateresque style, Italian urban architecture, and Flemish elements. It marks the transition from Late Gothic to Renaissance. The construction of churches and monasteries in Manueline was largely financed by proceeds of the lucrative spice trade with Africa and India.
The style was given its name, many years later, by Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen, Viscount of Porto Seguro, in his 1842 book, Noticia historica e descriptiva do Mosteiro de Belem, com um glossario de varios termos respectivos principalmente a architectura gothica, in his description of the Jerónimos Monastery.
Varnhagen named the style after King Manuel I, whose reign (1495–1521) coincided with its development.
The style was much influenced by the astonishing successes of the voyages of discovery of Portuguese navigators, from the coastal areas of Africa to the discovery of Brazil and the ocean routes to the Far East, drawing heavily on the style and decorations of East Indian temples.
Although the period of this style did not last long (from 1490 to 1520), it played an important part in the development of Portuguese art.
The influence of the style outlived the king. Celebrating the newly maritime power, it manifested itself in architecture (churches, monasteries, palaces, castles) and extended into other arts such as sculpture, painting, works of art made of precious metals, faience and furniture.
I love collecting pebbles (and shells of course..) at the beach. These two are from Chile.
I don't have millions... but hundreds all over the house. The most interesting ones are on
my desktop... together with some beautiful shells.

Pictured here is another one of 58 bronze sculptures on a bridge in Oslo's Vigeland Sculpture park. It obviously shows two men. The dominant motif among the bronze figures on the bridge is the relationship between man and woman and between adults and children. All sculptures were created before 1943 by Gustav Vigeland, Norway's most famous sculptor.
Personally, I really admired the beautiful sculptures especially of the male body of the norwegian artist that can also be found elsewhere in the park.
