Phoebis sennae (Cloudless Sulphurs) with one Sleepy Orange, Abaeis nicippe. The Phoebis at least, are males, I believe. (I think that mainly male butterflies take salts at damp ground.)
Another Cloudless from my butterfly collection. Photographed on some Zinnia in the Dixon Gardens, Memphis, Tennessee.
Gibbs Gardens, Georgia
For Presidents' Day: if you've never heard of Jonathan Turley you'll want to hear what he's had to say recently - no matter your political persuasion. He may be the most respected constitutional expert in the country. He voted for this president but now warns: "When a president claims the inherent power of both legislation and enforcement, he becomes a virtual government unto himself. He is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he becomes the very danger that the Constitution was designed to avoid." Read more of his words here:

or listen to him here along with other constititional experts at congressional hearing 12-3-13:

Then pray for our country. I don't like a lot of politics here - but I see our country's rule of law disappearing before my eyes.
Happy Butterfly Monday!
Found this one at the Lavallette Barber shop after my haircut. It pays to take your camera where ever you go.
A Cloudless Sulphur roams one of the flower gardens on the University of Memphis campus. This seems to be the only species of butterflies I've been able to photograph lately, as the larger ones are quite scarce.
The Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus). The average size of the Lilac Breasted Roller is 14.5 inches. The Lilac Breasted Roller feeds on grasshoppers, beetles, occasionally lizards, crabs, and small amphibians.
Taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The funny story to this is that I told my colleague, as we left Manyeleti Wildlife Refuge which is next to Kruger, that last time we worked in the area we saw many rollers in Manyeleti but none in Kruger. We were not in the park 10 mins and we had already seen three and several hours later we had counted over 50.......so the joke of the trip was I was to say what I had not seen last time to make sure we saw them this time,,,,,and it mostly worked!
The start of what promises to be a hot day.. (Larger)
I haven't posted one of these in a while, so I hope you'll forgive me :-)
Panorama created from 2 images combined in Photoshop CS3.
Metadata geekery alert: Interestingly enough, Photoshop CS3 combines common EXIF elements from the panorama sub-images. Nice work, Adobe!
At least I think it is.
I was glad to see it as it was just too hot to go walking to take photos of birds.
Yesterday's butterfly was this big Cloudless sulphur visiting our encore azaleas. They love red flowers. Looks like some kind of nymph was enjoying them too. One shaft of light through the trees in our front yard lit them up.
Cloudless Sulphur female (Phoebis sennae eubule) on Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var drummondii). That's a mouthful.
We are seeing a lot of cloudless sulphurs migrating through now.
Bradley County, Arkansas USA September 16.
Sunset over Singapore
Just one of those photos where you're at the right place at the right time. The hot cloudless day helped develop the dramatic colours from the usually dull skies over Singapore.

It is surprising how often the lake is free of boats, or has just one or two. I thought these lone fishermen added a lot to the sense of serenity here---Lake Guntersville late on an October afternoon
