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' ...

Will have to google around to see what she is..

Fake "tilt shift' effect to make real elephants from the Maryland Zoo look like miniatures. version 2. Cropping it a little tighter seemed to help the illusion.

Here is one of several images I took of the moon in full eclipse last night. The 40D/100-400L sat on the very rigid Bogen 3033/3057 tripod/head and was triggered by remote control. I think this is just about as good as I can get. The air, as you can see, was roiling a bit (lots of wind aloft) and the heat rising off the city gives this a shimmering effect. Still, this nearly does the event justice, IMNSHO. :-)
Not much I could do extra for a general purpose Tamron 18-270mm PZD Lens at 65 meters away at max zoom...!!!

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. ;-)

Three arctic wolves of the zoo of Amnéville relaxing together. I like how they lie one ontop of each other! Just sad that a log and some plants were disturbing...

I wonder if the holes were battle damage or added later for effect?
Photograph taken at an altitude of Thirteen metres at 18:42pm on Friday 22nd May 2015 off the A87 between Dornie and Ardelve, roughly at the point where Loch Long, Loch Alsh and Loch Duich all converge. Here we are looking across to the very famous and much photographed Eilean Donan Castle.
Eilean Donan Castle (Gaelic: Eilean Donnain) is a picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television, including the opening scenes of the eighties cult film, 'Highlander', starring Christopher Lambert (with a fabulous musical score by Freddie Mercury and the boys from Queen, and lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie.
The castle was founded in the thirteenth century, and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and allies Clan Macrae. In the early eighteenth century the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite Rebellions led in 1719 to the castle's destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings
