I love the brilliant red color of this common Florida shrub, and the pink ruffled edges of the green bud-studded seed comb that's beginning to form. Also, take a look at the long golden filaments that used to reach all the way to the end of the flower and now still tie them there hanging in the breeze. Nearby spiders have added their magic too... tethering in place this cluster with their angular glowing webs.
Odontonema strictum. Common Names: firespike, cardinal guard, scarlet flame. Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus Family). Frequently found in my neighborhood in Miami. Beautiful when the combs enlarge and dry.

Glass facades of office buildings don't have to be boring (like in the previous shot). It doesn't take much to add interest and a different feel...

PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
Always feel great to see this beauty, even encountering with them in various locations. Like other related species, they are splendid creatures gliding in the forests.
The male and the female are dimorphic, but both have forewings with concave inner margin, and strongly angled hindwings. However, I still thought they are different species at first sight.
It's a monotypic species.

Poco a poco se despereza la naturaleza y el campo se llena de colores y sonidos de vida. Acaba otro invierno, empieza la primavera.
Comma Butterfly, (Polygonia c album). Taken on 20/06/2023at 15:02:29Hrs using a Nikon P100 Camera.
Polygonia c-album, the comma, is a butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The angular notches on the edges of the forewings are characteristic of the genus Polygonia, which is why species in the genus are commonly referred to as anglewing butterflies. The species is commonly found in Europe,
Lacking a drone, the best way to get a shot like this is to stand atop a ruined 15th Century castle, as I did. Seen from Easkey Castle, Co. Sligo, Ireland.
By the way, 'angular momentum' has nothing whatsoever to do with this image, other than it sounded like a cool title.

La dita diu "Tor és un Cel per a les besties, un Infern per als homes". La part del bestiar es refereix a com de bé es crien els ramats en un lloc amb tant de abastiment. Sobre els homes...
Si coneixeu la historia del minuscul però notori poblet de Tor, entre el Pallars i Andorra, haureu sentit parlar de "La Muntanya de Tor" i els conflictes (i morts) que provocà. De fet, pel que tinc entès, la "muntanya" no és un pic en concret, sino tot el territori de la vall entorn Tor. I aquí el teniu, vist des del Coll de Cabús (2302 m.), la important conexió viaria entre Tor i Andorra.
De fet, fins just aquí al coll de Cabús, la via andorrana és una carretera de muntanya perfectament asfaltada, però un cop entra al Pallars, a la vall de Tor, passa a ser un camí de muntanya força més ferestec. El vaig fer tot just pocs mesos després del assassinat del "Sansa", l'estiu del 1995. Diuen que foren els traficants de tabac qui es feren carrec de fer i mantenir la important carretera.
Aqui podeu veure altres fotos d'una altra visita a Tor, el 2015:

There's a saying in this area, that says, in Catalan: "Tor is a heaven for the herds, and a hell for men". The heaven part is clear considering how important is (or rather was) husbandry in this part of Catalonia. For the hellish part...
This is the so called "Tor mountain", in fact the valley of Tor, a tiny village of only 13 houses in the middle of the most uninhabited part of the Catalan Pyrenees. But just by the Andorran frontier, which links with a path to Tor just here in the Cabús pass (2302 m. above sea level).
The village of Tor has a long dark reputation in Catalonia, as three people at least have been murdered there in the past 60 years arround the ownership of this huge area. And why kill for just a large zone of rocks, pines and meadows? Because it's location by the frontier, and so, smuggling, specially of tobacco, which is way cheaper in Andorra.
Here are my pictures of another visit to Tor:
It's an amazing history of dark hearts in a gorgeously beautiful place:

There’s a splendid tv-documentary called “Tor, la muntanya maleïda” (Tor, the damned mountain). It’s in Catalan, but anyway you can take a look at the images and the people. Surely it has stuff for a movie:

Crossing Bristo Square at the University during the Fringe. I looked up for a moment from the frenzy of loud activity going on in the square and noticed this modern addition was catching the last of the evening light. with shadows growing.
I wanted a better angle, but the square below was packed with pop-up spots for the Fringe, so this was the only angle I could get that avoided getting those in the shot, as I just wanted the architecture and that evening light on the window patterns, in mono, so I had to zoom and angle and frame to get it.
