No chance of getting a 100mm macro on these insects - far too active and skittish. Telephoto was the only way and even then it's taken a while. So here is clouded yellow on scabious - complementary colours to boot.
I never thought I would like a random shot of clouds with no foreground objects, but I really like this shot.
Clouds advancing towards the open sea from the coastal area. A view from the road leading to Voz cove towards the south.

Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers.
The lack of trees in the West creates some breathtaking landscape shots. Most of these are best captured by a panoramic photo. A 17mm view just doesn't do these amazing landscapes justice. I love how the clouds out west build up every afternoon and create the most amazing skies. This photo was shot on the north side of Yellowstone Park as the day neared its end.
YACS (yet another cloud shot) included in my Heavens! series.

Cranes, Dawn Clouds. © Copyright 2018 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A flock of sandhill cranes flies beneath dawn clouds.
When I began photographing (mostly) migratory birds in the Western United States I was largely ignorant about what I was seeing. One of my first bird photography forays was essentially an accident. I happened to run into a friend in a coffee stand line one morning and she (who is a true "birder") happened to say, more or less, "I think you might like to go visit this place I know of." Given the way I sometimes work, that serendipitous nudge was sufficient to get me to drive a few hours before dawn the following weekend to visit this place I'd never heard of before. I arrived. There were tons of birds. (And I discovered the power of the sound of the birds, too!) I had no idea what I was seeing, but I liked it and I made photographs. I was hooked.
As I started to edge over toward an active compulsion to photograph birds more seriously I began to recall a earlier hints about this world that I had ignored. One was all the way back in a college "natural science" short course, where the prof (who seemed a bit "odd" to me then) went on about snowy egrets (which I mostly ignored) and made us read Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac." I didn't fully "get" Leopold's book at the time, but it planted a seed. (Re-reading it years later I understood more fully the power of Leopold's vision and his writing, and I recommend the book.) One thing that I DID retain from reading that book was an idea that there was something special about sandhill cranes, which were among the birds that I finally discovered in the real world on that first morning when I acted on my friend's coffee line suggestion. The birds in this photograph are sandhill cranes, which seem to me increasingly to be magical birds. In fact it is their characteristic cry that is my strongest audio association with the places where wild birds are found. I photographed this group very early in the morning as their trajectory took them below the edge of dawn-tinged clouds.

These Lenticular clouds over the Wasatch Mountains, were the perfect ending of a slow photography day.
I'm pretty sure the left peak is Mt. Timpanogos, and on the right is Lone Peak.

Funnel Cloud west of Anson, TX. Took this facing north on HW180, I think we were around 15-20 miles west of Anson, TX. That one didn't touch ground, but only about an hour earlier there was an F2 on the ground a little farther north. My friend took some video, and you can easily see it spinning...
Last time I saw thunder this large or fast was in Hong Kong… whoa.
(Photo straight from the camera w/ no editing whatsoever so the colours are real)
Taken aboard a Boeing 757 somewhere over Southern Utah. The large cloud looks like it's ready to engulf the smaller clouds below.
