Aneurus sp. This flew onto an outdoor table...was not happy...then flew off. At least it gave me a chance to see that they are really strong flyers. It's a shame that I didn't get a shot of its wings out....
Actual ID is Isodermus planus, Thanks to Claas Damken and Tony for the ID.

January Photography Class:
Lovely Lizards will be hosting a 2-Day photography class, taught by Lovely Lizards Photographer, Roger Reetz.

We will be covering such topics as composition, portraits, nature photography, existing light photography, landscapes, going manual, wildlife photography, photo editing apps, and much more. It will be beneficial for both “Point and Shoot” and DSLR camera owners but will have a heavy focus on using a DSLR camera. Weather permitting; we will also get some hands on practice with taking pictures outdoors.
The course will be held at the Orange Beach Golf Center on Canal Road, on Saturday, January 11th, from 9-4ish and Sunday, January 12th, from 1-8ish. The cost of the class is $75 We will break for lunch on Saturday, but please bring a bag lunch for Sunday.

A flat cap, or, in Scotland, bunnet is a rounded men's or women's cap with a small stiff brim in front. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton. Less common materials may include leather. Cord flat caps are also worn in various colours. The inside of the cap is usually lined with silk for comfort and warmth.
The style can be traced back to the 14th century in Northern England and parts of Southern Italy, when it was more likely to be called a "bonnet", which term was replaced by "cap" before about 1700, except in Scotland, where it continues to be referred to as a "bunnet". When Irish and English immigrants came to the United States, they brought the flat cap with them.
A 1571 Act of Parliament to stimulate domestic wool consumption and general trade decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and persons of degree, were to wear caps of wool manufacture on force of a fine (3/4d (pence) per day). The Bill was not repealed until 1597, though by this time, the flat cap had become firmly entrenched in English psyche as a recognized mark of a non-noble subject; be it a burgher, a tradesman, or apprentice. The style survives as the Tudor bonnet in some styles of academic dress.
Flat caps were almost universally worn in the 19th century by working class men throughout Britain and Ireland, and versions in finer cloth were also considered to be suitable casual countryside wear for upper-class English men (hence the contemporary alternative name golf cap). Flat caps were worn by fashionable young men in the 1920s.
The stereotype of the flat cap as purely "working class" was never correct. They were frequently worn in the country, but not in town, by middle- and upper-class males for their practicality. Mather says: "A cloth cap is assumed in folk mythology to represent working class, but it also denotes upper class affecting casualness. So it is undoubtedly classless, and there lies its strength. A toff can be a bit of a chap as well without, as it were, losing face." When worn by an upper-class gentleman, it is sometimes referred to as a slummers' cap. The British workman no longer commonly wears a flat cap, so in the twenty-first century, it has gained an increasingly upper-class image. In Britain though the flat cap is frequently worn as part of an "urban" or "street" look favoured by the working classes.

And good thing I did catch up with the girls at the busker fest after work because they had a surprise when they returned back to the car....
Taken at Harrison Flat in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, an off trail trek where we spent 2 nights backpacking. An incredible location with 360° views of rugged peaks. After soaking in the grandeur and taking some 'normal' shots I pulled out the Singh Ray I-Ray Infrared filter, I knew the grass would turn white contrasting nicely with the river. I also added a Singh Ray 5 stop ND filter to extend the exposure to 2 minutes, which added the movement to the clouds.
