Large female sulphur enjoying the flowers this month - North Georgia. One of our most common Fall butterflies - and they love red blossoms.

I had never thought of Cloudless Sulphurs as potential pollinators of PB Gentians. In the couple of hours I spent in this area, every 10 minutes or so a Cloudless Sulphur would zoom in and dive into one of the gentians. They might stay for 5-10 seconds before moving on. Try as I might I couldn't get a clean shot, but was happy to get this image with pollen on the proboscis.
A bushfire (possibly a controlled burn) pushes its smoke above the border ranges horizon near Mt Tomewin. Slowly a white cap appears atop the smoke — a little physics in action. Warm air from the fire and carried up with the smoke reaches an altitude where it cools and the moisture in the smoke condenses. Voila! We have a cloud on a cloudless day. I guess all this shows that you can take the teacher out of science but you can't take the science out of the teacher...

Cloudless Beauty at Long Jetty NSW. It is very rare to get this jetty to yourself for sunset. Just taking the time to soak in the rays tonight, it was a beautiful thing.

I headed down to the Cot valley yesterday, despite the sky being completely blue and cloudless. I arrived just in time to scamper over the rocks and find a spot for the sunset. I am always amazed that nobody ever seems to venture further than about 10 meters away from the front of the beach. There were 3 or 4 photographers there just stuck in the same spot. I went around the corner to find the whole of the rest of the beach completely deserted! Their loss I guess.
Anyway, the clouds then appeared and the light show began. Beautiful rays of light beamed down, the colours were great and I had a really productive time. It never seems to fail to disappoint. It is one of my all time favourite spots, it just has a magical quality of light down there.
The shot here shows the Brisons on the horizon, the two big rocks so characteristic off the coast here. This spot is sandwiched between Land's End and Cape Cornwall. Famed for its rounded rock formations, the possible compositions are endless.
I have been trying to "expose to the right", having read about it in my recent Christmas Photography books. Hopefully this has started to make a difference to the tones, particularly in the darker areas. let me know what you think. Enjoy.

Hot cloudless days, even in late September, cause ethereal sea mists to drift on onshore currents particularly over the flanking cliffs of Sandwood Bay and are not generated by the 215ft sea stack sentinel, Am Buchaille. Relentless sun drains the colour leaving monochrome photography the better option.
Good morning everyone. Just two quick pics of my first Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) butterflies of 2018. A species we strictly rely on migrants and which usually don't start making an appearance until August. But some years we might not see any. As for 2018, it can be described as mediocre with no where near as many the prior two years.
The Cloudless Sulphur is not an easy butterfly to photograph. Very erratic as they typically dart around more like a skipper butterfly. Plus due to its bright yellowish-green coloring and smooth wing surface you need to up the exposure setting quite a bit, otherwise they end over exposed.
So you'll know, this is a large butterfly for a sulphur with a wing span of 2 1/4 - 3 1/8 inches (5.7 - 8 cm).
Both pics are of males, as I've been unable to get one of a female yet. As for the second photo, it can be found in the comment section and my stream.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

If you one of these people who think the end of the world is no longer coming, please find it has arrived (as so many people say). Where it applies I leave to your sense of observation and communication while you munch on it.
There is still a point in taking pictures though (end of the world takes time to happen).. This one was taken after wishful wishing of watching cloudless sky for the whole day. There is no better way of stopping “end of the world” that going on "sweet spot" finding stroll, and finding one ... to your own heart delight.

Cloudless sunrise over Cathedral Rock, Kiama (90 minutes south of Sydney), Australia. This small cave is only accessible during low tide but provides an interesting composition.

On this cloudless morning in Arches I decided to attempt another classic photo I have shot a number of times before. I was amazed that at the Windows District parking lot there was only one car so I decided to make a run for the small perch through the North Window Arch needed to take this shot.
I scrambled up and met Jay from Arkansas. We spent an enjoyable 30 minutes talking, shooting, and waiting for sunrise until a very loud group of tourists decided they needed this shot as well. Man, could they yell! All of a sudden our little perch became crowded and noisy!
But the great light had come and gone. We smiled at each other and left as well!

Butterflies have been swarming all over the cardinal flower around the pond. This one is a male cloudless sulphur. The hummingbirds like cardinal flower as well, but they don’t seem to be very good at perching and I am not fast enough to catch them flying.
