Owen loves when I close my eyes in the shower. He says it makes him believe I am at peace with myself.
This is the effect that occurs when someone is moving while taking a panorama shot with the iPhone 5.
There's been a recent mass hatching of the Blue Tiger butterflies, but every one of them have been heading from west to east, passing right past my back windows, over my yard and straight over the fence to the next garden.
I obviously don't have the right flowers for them !
And wow, so many… Got curious after several days of this parade so yesterday actually stood and counted six within one minute flutter by … all going at the rate of knots and not a chance to even try for a pic.
...
Anyhoo, last Sunday, spotted a pair of Wanderers ( Monarchs ) hanging around some greenery on the lake's edge.
Turns out there was a good clump of tropical milkweed that they love.
It was only budding, not yet in flower, and they were laying eggs on the leaves.
As mentioned before, I set little challenges with my pics and always wanted to get a butterfly in flight.
I did manage to get a series, but stayed at quite a distance, to make sure the Girlz didn't wander through it all and scare off these pretties.
As for the grey day, well, it's been a typical tropical summer and we're grateful for the overcast weather lately.
Still often sticky and humid with intermittent showers, the clouds have kept us cooler with occasional gentle breezes.
As you know, the tripod gets left in the cupboard so everything's either handheld or resting on something, and sometimes you've just gotta be quick-to-get-the-pic !
So again, not perfect as there was no time to sit down and fiddle about to stabilise and I wonder if I could've scored better if I had.
Never do any good with looking through the viewfinder, forgot to put the specs on and the cloudy sky was reflecting on the screen, so I s'pose lucky to get any at all ..
I like this one because when I look at the butterfly against the water here, it has a bit of a 3D effect.
Ha, get it.. 'the butterfly effect' ...

Commentary.
This view is over the south-east corner of Loch Ewe.
A corner of the profuse sub-tropical gardens, created by Osgood Mackenzie in the 19th. Century, form the foreground.
Looking south over ten miles the distinctive peaks of Beinn Airigh Charr, 792 metres, pierce the clinging clouds in the remote, wild mountainous area known as Flowerdale Forest.
Such balmy conditions at 57 degrees North is a gratifying surprise and delight.
But for the warming effect of the ocean current, “the Gulf Stream” or “North Atlantic Drift,” these splendid coastal fringes of Wester Ross would experience the harsher sub-Arctic conditions of the North-West Highland mountains only a few miles inland.

Built during the early 1100s, the parochial church of the village of Merlévenez features a very interesting set of so-called “broken” or “pointy” arches in the nave, instead of the more traditional barrel arches. Contrary to what some internet sites claim, the “broken” arch was not invented by the Cistercians. It is a pure product of Cluniac architectural research, therefore invented by the mainstream Benedictines and not by their Cistercian offshoot. It is probably not the Cistercians that brought that shape to Brittany and built this church, as all those examples supplied by such web sites of Cistercians foundations using that same pointy arch date from 1130 at the earliest, when Merlévenez was probably almost completed already. Those web sites mistake the effect for the cause: it is indeed likely that the Cistercians found their own inspiration in Merlévenez, instead of having inspired it, or else (and perhaps more likely) they simply found that inspiration in Cluny.
In addition to this architectural feature, this church also offers some very interesting sculpted and historied capitals that have interestingly archaic characteristics, even though one must of course also account for the difficulty inherent in sculpting granite.
Naive, archaic human faces on capitals in the nave.

4) The largest apple picked weighed three pounds.
5) Don't peel your apple. Two-thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the peel Antioxidants help to reduce damage to cells, which can trigger some diseases.

As the sun was rising over this abandoned pier a 20 second exposure produced a surreal effect of the incoming tide on the pebble beach at Canico de Baixo, Madeira.
School children on a field trip run into one of the stars of a once popular kids TV show, Suite Life on Deck (you have to be a certain age or have kids of a certain age to have any idea...). The star is now a student at NYU. He seemed pretty OK with it. My daughter says she has also seen him around campus, but that she, of course, kept her cool. ;-)
See below for an OMG moment shortly after...
