These Wasps have a fascinating social life. A queen is supported by a community of workers. there are specialist work forces, rebellions, leadership contests, undertakers, police, even free-loaders and anti-social thugs. You name it, social wasps have it. This worker wasp is housekeeping by removing sand from the inside of the nest .
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. Tourism is an important economic activity for the region, generating over A$3 billion per year. 22972
I don't recall ever seeing these flowers with the white petals before! They go through so many stages that it's difficult to keep track. They are fascinating flowers.
Better on black & fullscreen : )

The fascinating & beautiful ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, UK, provided me with a glimpse of the city beyond through one of its remaining windows. One can only imagine how glorious this abbey must have been before it was destroyed!
Fascinating watching this little Wren smashing the caterpillar on the ground. Did not take very long to consume.

This fascinating Green Iguana was found inside the butterfly farm, of all places. We got quite the show as she made her way along the top lattice, eating leaves, and then climbing down to walk along the foot path. (See pics below)
I was told that her and the male are usually found lounging around in the same spot most of the day and rarely come down to the ground.
Fascinating location here at Cuejdel lake. Even if the sun was up for around 2 hours, the mist was still lurking around the water.
And I think that's the last one I'll post from the lake... for now.
I'm usually a bit more selective, but this was such a beautiful day.
This photograph was taken in May prior to sunrise at Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Heritage Bridge and beyond.
The sun was progressively rising behind low lying clouds variously illuminated. The Bridge and fascinating colourful clouds and cloudlets were reflected in the mirror-like surface of the reservoir.
fascinating exhibit at the gallery in our beautiful neighboring library . . .

A Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) was framed moments before her flight. It might not be the perfect perching for her for a great frame but the Bokeh backdrop and the colours of the bird made a delightful composition. Sheer beautiful combination was the pose of the colourful bird and the prime lens Bokeh on the green! Pics was taken from Purbasthali, West Bengal, India.
I had cloudy and foggy weather all day, so I didn’t get the photos of this mountain lake that I had hoped for, but at least I didn’t get a sunburn either. Lai da Palpuogna was voted the most beautiful spot in Switzerland in 2007, although I thought it’s rather photogenic but not really beautiful. Maybe I‘m just biased though as I don’t like the fact that there’s a road and a parking lot close by, and it’s pretty clear that it’s often crowded here. However this morning I had the lake with all its fascinating shades of green to myself 😊👍

In spite of the dismal weather yesterday, my bird's eye view of the BYC boating event was fascinating.
PS Wouldn't you know it, today the weather is gorgeous: bright and sunny.
The Quiraing, a fascinating landscape on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. Trotternish is probably the second most popular visitor location on Skye after the Cuillin Hills the next most visited part of Skye with stunning scenery at the Quirang making it popular with walkers and photographers.
We got up at 5.30am to travel to the Quiraing to get this shot. It was'nt the best of sunrises but since it had rained each day previously we were lucky. You certainly needed local knowledge to find this location and the best shooting point.

This Eastern Wood-Pewee seemed to be fascinated with the camera. These little flycatchers are one of the last spring migrants to return from their wintering range in South America.

"A fascinating finch of coniferous woodlands, the Red Crossbill forages on nutritious seeds in pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and spruce cones. Their specialized bills allow them to break into unopened cones, giving them an advantage over other finch species. Because conifers produce seeds unpredictably, Red Crossbills sometimes wander (or “irrupt”) far beyond their usual range. They nest wherever and whenever they find abundant food, sometimes even in winter. Several types of Red Crossbill exist; they each have different calls, feed on particular conifer species, and might represent distinct species."
There are some fascinating boulders on the shore of Porth Nanven. On my last visit there were numerous beautiful rounded boulders where the little stream enters the sea. This year they have been covered by sand and I had to look for different opportunities. Not that this was a problem as there are plenty of others to catch the eye and with the Brison Islands just of shore the place is a photographers dream.
I was extremely lucky on this visit as the weather was so poor on my way here I nearly didn't bother. I thought it would be a few wet, drizzly LE shots at best. But as I scrambled over the boulders to the shore the weather started to improve and left me all alone here with conditions I certainly didn't expect to find. I came away with some decent images like this one. I suppose it's a case of the old adage, "you have to be out there to catch moments like this", and I nearly didn't!
I found these tiny egg shells (empty, hatched) on a fence post at Dunlop Millennium Woodland Nature Park today. From the top to the bottom of the columns of eggs is only about 5-6mm, so each egg is tiny. I find these structures fascinating; they are really intricate, and I didn't see the iridescence inside the shells until I viewed the photo on my PC. I'm not sure what would have hatched out of them, but I'm guessing shieldbugs or moth caterpillars---I will Google and update if I can....
...too slow, thanks to Rockwolf for the probable ID of gorse shieldbug eggs :D
