A large, strong flying butterfly. The brilliant white wings have black tips to the forewings, extending down the wing edge. Females have two spots on the forewings, which is not present in males. The undersides are a creamy white with two spots.
A large, strong flying butterfly. The brilliant white wings have black tips to the forewings, extending down the wing edge. Females have two spots on the forewings, which is not present in males. The undersides are a creamy white with two spots.
The larvae feed on wild or cultivated species of the Cruciferae family, with a strong preference for cultivated varieties of Brassica oleracea, such as Cabbage and Brussel-sprouts and varieties of B. napus such as Oil-seed Rape. Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) and Wild Mignonette (Reseda lutea) are also used, as is Sea-Kale (Crambe maritima) along the coast.
The beetles are 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters long, They have a great variety of color forms: well over 100 color and pattern variations. Some of these color forms differ to the extent that at first they were thought to be separate species.
The background coloration ranges from cream through yellow to light orange, but not red. Usually there are 14 black, almost rectangular spots on the elytra, but only rarely are all of these spots separate from one another. Most commonly, several of the spots are fused into larger markings, particularly along the midline, where they often create a shape resembling an anchor, sometimes fusing to such an extent that the yellow disappears almost completely, rendering the body almost entirely black except for 12 pale yellow spots.
The pronotum is whitish or pale yellow, with four to eight black spots. The antennae and legs are yellowish-brown.
Drifted...
The sun was diffused by some pretty thick cloud coverage; there were gaps in the sky that allowed the sun to spill its glorious light all over the landscape. the firmament was a translucent blue with patches of white and grey mixed in for effect.
The water on the surface of the lake was at a dead calm, with only the slightest ripples disturbing its glassy surface. Washed up on the shore a large piece of driftwood stranded until the next storm washes it back into the pale blue lake.

"It is not unusual to hear media weather reporters discuss the marine layer as if it were synonymous with the fog or stratus it may contain, but this is erroneous. In fact, a marine layer can exist with virtually no cloudiness of any kind, although it usually does contain some. The marine layer is a medium within which clouds may form under the right conditions; it is not the layers of clouds themselves."
Love the diffuse and soft
I want to take another type of picture as I have done. Trying. That I find exciting for me😊and of course as usual😊
Another photo of Twenty mile river. The high clouds diffused the light from Anchorage and the northern lights. The milky way was peeking through the last bit of clear sky.
Went a little abstract this week. Used a piece of paper to diffuse the light source and create the contrast needed to light the diagonal.
HMM! Starts with the letter D.
First off, let's establish size here. Even though this has been shot with a macro lens, this is nowhere even close to a macro shot, not even close-focus! In fact, this is (on sensor) about 5:1 or about 1/5 life size. This (harmless to humans) wasp from head to tip of her ovipositor is around 15 cm (6") !!!, and yes you can tell it's a female, because she has an ovipositor (duh). This is the largest parasitic wasp in North America, at it's very northern boundary on the north coast of Lake Erie. I did try to get in for a macro shot of her face, but she was having no part of that paparazzi crap. First time I've ever seen this beauty, and trust me I was borderline catatonic with the excitement! Two-image stack, handheld.

Macro Mondays - New
The top of a new glass reed diffuser jar given as a Christmas gift.
Taken using an MCEX-16 extension tube. Total image size is approximately 4cm.
One of my favorite spots anywhere, on an uncharacteristically stormy midsummer's day. When the soft, diffused overcast light brought out the lush greens of the leaves and needles, reinvigorated after a much-needed rain. This is Valley View, in Yosemite National Park.
Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued kind comments and favorites. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I came across a diffuser filter in the loft that I've had for many years and forgotten about, so just had to have a play.
A peaceful and beneficial garden visitor, this is a black and yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) wasp.
Even though they have bright warning colours, these wasps are not at all aggressive like other wasps. They are solitary parasitoid wasps that build nests out of mud.
After building a cell of the nest, the female wasp captures several spiders. The captured prey are stung and paralyzed before being placed in the nest (usually 6-15 per cell), and then a single egg is deposited on the prey within each cell. The wasp then seals the cell with a thick mud plug. After finishing a series of cells, she leaves and does not return. The larva spins a cocoon and pupates. Eventually, the hatching larva will eat the prey and emerge from the nest.
Stings are rare due to their usually peaceful nature, however nests are aggressively defended.
I walked out of our accommodation with camera in one had and dog in the other in a hurry completely forgetting my tripod.
So this is a sunrise nine image panorama hand held , I`ll leave you to be the judge here .
This was the South Bay after the the mist had passed out into the North Sea,leaving the town and harbour looking a little brighter though it wasn't to last as the mist came rolling off the land again as it started to get dark. The mist acts as a big diffuser making the colours in the sunset look softer.
Thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my photo stream.
