The Cloudless Sulphur, Phoebis sennae, is a regular late summer and fall visitor ot Leavenworth, Kansas, USA. October 20, 2022.
Proof that we do get good weather sometimes in Scotland! It was even warm enough to linger for as long as you liked on the mountain tops. We only left when hunger and pleasant thoughts of a distant kettle drew us back downwards.
About time too, a bit of sunlight to test the 14-24mm lens. Very difficult this evening, you needed a 10 stop ND grad, if one exists! The problem with the 14-24mm lens is that it does not take the standard Lee filters. Therefore, shooting without filters, help! It's amazing how much you rely on them. Having said all that, I'm pleased to have captured this one. The dynamic range of the D800 really helps.
Our annual southern migrant. A large iconic butterfly that arrives in the Mid-Atlantic at the end of summer.
Likes to nectar on red or orange tubular flowers. Here pictured inside a Nasturtium bloom native to Mexico and Peru. Nasturtiums are edible and a delectable addition to salads. The blooms add a wonderful pop of color and the leaves infuse your tastebuds with a peppery taste.
See my next shot that completes the look at this butterfly.
Quick before it melts!
A wee layer of snow over here in North East Fife on a sunny day, not seen the sun in a wee while!
Enjoy it while it lasts,

Man, this species moves quickly. But this Turk's cap made it stop just for a bit to sip its nectar.
Vaya, esta especie se mueve rápidamente. Pero esta manzanita la hizo detenerse para libar de su néctar.

I also spotted one of these Sunday - it may have been the last.

Little flutterer visiting the flower bed. Looks to be a Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly... photographed with 180-600mm Nikkor at f8
Recent rains and warmer temps have the salvia blooming & that brings butterflies. This one turned out to be a new species for me. I found out this species loves red flowers.

on Candlestick Cassia tree. Not sure where this one ended up since there wasn't much to eat on the tree as it was hit hard by the freeze we had in late January.
cloudless sunset is always dificult, still radda makes a great foreground.
Have postet similiar picture in black and white. Both interesting. Which is better?

A fine clear morning at Lone Pine Creek gazing longingly through the Whitney Portal to the golden needles of mighty Mt Whitney and the ramparts of the incomparable Sierra Crest.
While the Lone Pine Campground campers dozed away behind us, my friends George and Robert were there beside me taking it all in.
Thanks for looking and your feedback.
We’re working on the next release of Cloudless Atlas, processing thousands upon thousands of huge Landsat scenes. Many techniques carry over smoothly from our cloudless MODIS project, but the number of pixels is on another level entirely – on the order of 20 trillion. We’re planning for a cluster of 400 servers just to manage the petabytes of data downloads. The main pipeline, though: that will be a cloud unto itself, with just over 1000 high-end machines, each applying our tuned processing kernels to millions of pixels per second. It’s been fun crunching the numbers to get this set up, but the best part is seeing the beautiful images we can produce: www.mapbox.com/blog/cloudless-landsat-preview/
- Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae)
In the Fall I see more of these butterflies.
Best viewed in large.
The title reminded me of this song.

Day 311/365
We're in the last butterfly-ish days of the year. (Three or four days with lows in the twenties killed off a good number.) I've gone to the same park each seventy-something day--today will be the last, but I'm going elsewhere.
I saw quite a number of sulphurs, probably orange but possibly also clouded. And this one cloudless sulphur, a species I have only seen two or three times, a delight to find in November. I spent a half hour watching and photographing this beauty as it flew from aster to aster. One variegated fritillary showed up, but didn't give me time to get its photo. I also saw two common buckeyes, several cabbage whites, and some skippers.
Georgia yard, yesterday
Cloudless sulphurs are our most common butterfly now. While shooting in the asters yesterday, a big green darner buzzed me several times. Probably a late migrant ...
I was pleased to see this beautiful male while out walking a gravel road. Yesterday I saw at least 15 species of butterflies; today I saw at least six species I didn't see yesterday, including three sulphurs I rarely see: this cloudless sulphur and one or two others, a little yellow that didn't stick around long, and a dainty sulphur (which I haven't seen for several years) that refused to pause for a photo at all.
