I did not recognize this Pipevine swallowtail butterfly (Battus philenor) because of its faded color and I didn't notice the one 'tail' until it was on a big monitor. I don't know if their colors fade with age or exposure to sunlight or both. Even with three broods per year, this guy seems the worse for wear.

WISH YOU ALL A SUPER SATURDAY

This is an orchid too, from my window about to fade but still beautiful i think

A view from the north side of Grand View Point towards the end of a stormy afternoon. My favorite Canyonlands butte, Candlestick Tower, stands in the distance.

Souls to revive us

Or rot us away

Want for the weary

And death for the sane

Cursed yet we listen

For bells left to toll

To fight back the depths of

Humanity's soul

For the unkindled

We look to the sun

Cities in gold

All the victories won

Fear not the dark

Or the monsters, my friend

And brace for the feast

Of humanity's end

Born of graves and left below

Painted ashes, painted snow

When the dark awakens

Fires of our last hope are getting low

Souls of gods and souls of men

Meet in cinders to ascend

Fate has chosen

And our fading light is at its end

The far lake side fades out in the winter fog, creating a gripping atmosphere.

To my good friend, J.

NS 35A passes the searchlight signal at Deka Road just west of Lyons, led by a very faded C40-8W in Conrail blue. Before being repainted, most of these engines faded from their deep blue to a chalky similar to this. Hard to believe that just over ten years later, all of these once common Dash 8s are gone.

2024 is fading. Hope you had a good year. Have a good start into the new year!

The sad part of this picture: the Zurich municipal council decided to cut all of those pretty old 63 chestnut trees to have room for a temporary traffic lane during some reconstruction. People submitted a petition to keep the trees. Let's see.

Scrambling to get to my spot for the sunset. Saw this light and had to stop.

A horse grabs some last minute grass snacks as both natural and artificial lights gradually fade in his world. Every hour of every day is the same length but we tend to notice the approaching darkness more as we age.

A beautiful collection of trees I found in the snowy forests of Northern California. We don't often get to see scenes like these in our neck of the woods, but when we do, we cherish them. I crawled in thigh deep snow to get to these trees and broke my tripod trying to push it down into the snow, but I feel like the experience was still worth it.
