Ten years ago, for the International Year of Biodiversity, 2010 I have created an extra album. If you want, you can have a look here.
At the weekend we had high visitors in our garden. A group of admirals sat down on the overripe fruits of our honeysuckle to fortify themselves with the (probably) very sweet juice of the berries. Unfortunately they were too shy to let me photograph the open wings.
Since they first appeared this year and then too numerous (at least 4 at a time) I think they are preparing for their journey.
Admirals are migratory butterflies that fly over the Alps to southern Europe and sometimes even as far as Africa in autumn, at least 1,500 to 2,500 km, to spend the winter there. An overwhelming achievement for such a delicate creature. So I'm happy to provide them with a refueling station.
Am Wochende hatten wir hohen Besuch bei uns im Garten. Eine Gruppe Admirale hatte sich auf den überreifen Früchten unseres Geißblattes niedergelassen um sich mit dem (wahrscheinlich) sehr süßen Saft der Beeren zu stärken. Leider waren sie zu schüchtern, um mich die geöffneten Flügel fotografieren zu lassen.
Da sie das erste Mal dieses Jahr und dann auch noch so zahlreich erschienen sind (mindestens 4 auf einmal) glaube ich, dass sie sich gerade auf Ihre Wanderung vorbereiten.
Admirale sind nämlich Wanderfalter, die im Herbst über die Alpen nach Südeuropa und manchmal sogar bis nach Afrike fliegen, immerhin 1.500 bis 2.500 km, um dort zu überwintern. Eine überwältigende Leistung für so ein zierliches Geschöpf. Da stelle ich ihnen doch gern eine Tankstelle zur Verfügung.

Beautiful diffuse warm light: early morning golden hour, visibility so low all but one lone dead tree and its former branch were obscured in the fog.

Water, rocks and trees: these are a few of my favourite things.
The river runs for a few miles out of Wester Camghouran into the Rannoch Forest uplands; the gorge accompanies the path for an impressively long stretch of waterfalls and cascades.

"Knowledge is an achievement sublime.
A learning experience, one day at a time.
Knowledge is power...even if we
choose not to use it, imperatively.
From the day we are born,
we are blessed with the right
to study our world, to give our minds flight.
To hunger for more, to expand our potential.
Knowledge is something truly essential.
Answers to questions the mind can impart,
nurtures the hunger for knowledge, to start
the process of learning, the beginning of growth,
a personal quest and a personal oath,
to become the very best one can be.
Yes, that is the road I have chosen for me!
It's all up to us...that desire to learn.
An impression within our hearts, it should burn,
and daily, the blessings, upon us will shower.
Always hold to the truth,
that...Knowledge Is Power!"

Boom. After 8 years of missed opportunities, being in the wrong location, being at work, being away, I finally have captured a full on shelf cloud. A monster storm with so many lightning strikes, a dozen captured with my Pluto trigger including this one. #sydneystorms D810 & 14-24mm with Pluto trigger.
