Today a lot of these Painted Ladies visited the Erysimum Bowles's Mauve Perennial Wallflower in my garden.
Vanessa cardui is a well-known colorful butterfly, known as the painted lady, or in North America as the cosmopolitan. This butterfly has a strange pattern of flying in a sort of screw shape.
De distelvlinder (Vanessa cardui) is een vlinder uit de onderfamilie Nymphalinae van de familie van de aurelia's (Nymphalidae). In Nederland en België is de distelvlinder vooral bekend als trekvlinder die in sterk wisselende aantallen passeert. Zowel de Nederlandstalige als de wetenschappelijke naam van deze soort verwijzen naar het geslacht van de distels (Carduus), een van de waardplanten van de distelvlinder.

Naomi's new bantam chicks checking out my flower bed. It was a whole new world for them. In the last shot three of them are staring intently at a leaf stem. They were just too hilarious!

Shooting flowers in 60mph winds presents a few challenges..... And some interesting shapes :)
*EXPLORE* is a bit like buses. You wait ages for a new one to come along, then you get 10 at the same time !

Devoke Water is a small lake in the mid-west region of the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. It is the largest tarn in the Lake District.[1]
It lies on Birker Fell, 1 km to the west of the road between Ulpha and Eskdale, at an altitude of 770 feet (223 m). It has a depth of 46 ft (14 m).
It can be reached via a bridle track. There is a two-storey stone boathouse-cum-refuge and a ruined stable.

Devoke Water has an outlet in the north west, via Black Beck, which, after a short distance, plunges over rocks down a 26 ft (8 m) cascade, towards the River Esk.
One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.
A New Year's present I guess!!! LOL!!!

“O silêncio não é a simples ausência de ruídos ou
a interrupção da comunicação com o mundo exterior,
mas o processo de atingir um estado de tranqüilidade.
A solitude silenciosa faz nascer o verdadeiro discurso.
Não falo de isolamento físico; solitude aqui significa
está sozinho com o Só, experimentando o Outro
transcendente e crescendo na percepção da própria
identidade como alguém amado”.
Brennan Manning
Acredito que todos nós precisamos, de vez em quando, nos recolher para nos reencontrar. Bom reencontro a todos!
