A female Blue-tailed damselfly (Ischnura elegans) in the process of turning from the immature violacea form into the mature andromorph blue form. Near the River Derwent in South Derbyshire.
On first look, Violet-green Swallows appear dark above and crisp white below. In good light, the greenish-bronze back and iridescent violet rump come to life. All individuals have white bellies that wrap around to the upper side of the rump, creating "saddlebags." Males have white cheek patches while females and juveniles have dusky cheeks. Juveniles have grayish-brown backs and crowns.

For this festive HAPPY week. I find this such a joyful image, you too?
The viola is a large family containing 500 species, they are on record in Greece from the 4th century B.C.
Later in Europe, it was discovered that a plant similar to a viola grew in open areas. The plant found mostly in fields and amongst rocks in the Alps, hence Alpine.
It became known as a wild pansy (French: pensée). It might have been a romantic Frenchman who 'named' it... A pensée can be a thought or a saying, short or it can be as long as a paragraph, a page, a poem!
Maybe he thought of his loved-one, dried one amongst some book he carried? Juste une pensée... lol.
These delicately fragrant flowers come in a wonderful variety of colours. The dark centres in some flowers are thought to resemble little faces.
These are a smaller variety (a flower not much bigger than my thumbnail!), that I have in the garden, I could not resist photographing them in the studio...
As always, than, you for your lovely comments and thoughts, M, (*_*)

When growing up in a small country village on Mothering Sunday we used to join the queue of children in the aisle to receive a small bunch of violets from the priest at the chancel steps, to give to our mothers.
Due to long-term poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
I love her hair and confidence to carry off such bold colours. She was flattered when I told her after capturing this candid shot from Glasgow, Scotland.
My street shoot in Glasgow didn't go to plan yesterday as I had to leave early with sciatica-like pain. The light was particularly nice too but there will be other days in the future.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Phlox ? maar ben er niet zo zeker van of die wel een Phlox is

Phlox? but am not so sure if it is a Phlox

Wild violets in the Merkemvelde wood: these are Common dog-violets: they have a white spur (you can see that clearly in the violet on the right). The dark veins on the bottom petal are quite beautiful.
The green leaves are round or heart-shaped.
I was thrilled to find this spot where the Violet-green Swallows were picking up nesting material. At last, I thought, I will get a flight shot, however they are just as incredibly fast lifting off and landing on the ground as they are in the air. Not quite so difficult getting a shot of the wings outstretched though.
The violet sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus) is a very large hummingbird native to southern Mexico and Central America as far south as Costa Rica and western Panama. Always a pleasure and thrill to have a larger hummer come in and decide to feed right in front of you. One of the many gems and highlights of touring costa Rica with passionate instructors and photographers. Both Juan and Don specialize in multi flash, and nature light photography.

I actually had trouble finding blue violets, from the trail. Hope everyone has a safe and happy new week!
A small Viola (violet) plant a little before sunset on one of the final days of winter at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, New Zealand.
It was just a little too early to colour the sky in the background - I kind of wish I'd stayed as it was a very colourful one later on.

A spring treat, little wild violets scattered all over the yet-to-be-mowed lawn. (To give you an idea of their size, the ‘vase’ is a shot glass :)
Happy Sunday everyone!
Sweet violet, Viola odorata.
This one is slightly tattered, approximately 1.5cm flower.
A species of flowering plant in the family Violaceae native to Eurasia. It is commonly found in woods and hedgerows across the UK and is known for its small, hardy, herbaceous perennial nature.
Sweet violets are edible, and their flowers can be candied and used to decorate cakes, added to salads, or used as a garnish. They have been used in herbal medicine to treat ailments such as headaches, depression, and insomnia, and were also used to create early household deodorants in medieval Britain.
So far this fall, it hasn't been good for finding mushrooms. I assume this is because it's been so dry. Stack of 8 images. Happy Fungi Friday.
