this place is trouble waiting
the light hangs so weakly on to the quiet
drag myself in a long line
in a long line
in a lonely line
and i jealously want the ocean's deep nerve
i am a red flame hanging low to be close to it
hanging low to be close to you
from Songs: Ohia's "The Ocean's Nerves", lyrics Jason Molina
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Hope you all have a glorious mid week!
Thank you for your support and visit, it is always appreciated!
Marking the official end of summer today with a monarch photo from Tower Hill Botanic garden, where I went last weekend. End of summer is always going to be a little bit sad. But autumn in New England is pretty special!
Have a great day everyone!
This is one of the two Western Bluebird fledglings that hatched in my backyard this spring. He’s fluttering his wings while waiting for dad to arrive with a tasty morsel.
Western Bluebirds are small thrushes that usually perch upright. They are stocky with thin, straight bills and fairly short tails.
Male Western Bluebirds are shiny blue above with rust-orange extending from a vest on the breast onto the upper back. Females are gray-buff with a pale orange wash on the breast and blue tints to the wings and tail. The throat is blue in males and gray-buff in females, and the lower belly is whitish.
These birds are highly social, and usually feed in flocks during the non-breeding season. They hunt for terrestrial insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch. Western Bluebirds also frequently feed on berries in trees. Western Bluebirds rely on trees both for nesting cavities and hunting perches, and also perch on fences and utility lines.

This lady sprang up all alone next to the fence on our patio - they can be quite invasive but this one made a statement that my wife pointed me to. Pretty little gem with eyelashes, all on her own and first one up. The 20mm gravel she grew through made for nice bokeh.

I was out back taking pics of the pretty Lantana flowers when this guy came by. :-) He's a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. He only stayed a few minutes (less than 3 min) but I still vividly remember him. What a beauty.
Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea
The species is always associated with running water when breeding, although they may use man-made structures near streams for the nest. Outside the breeding season, they may also be seen around lakes, coasts and other watery habitats. Like other wagtails, they frequently wag their tail and fly low with undulations and they have a sharp call that is often given in flight.
This slim wagtail has a narrow white supercilium and a broken eye ring. The upperparts are grey and the yellow vent contrasting with whitish underparts makes it distinctive. The breeding male has a black throat that is edged by whitish moustachial stripes. They forage singly or in pairs on meadows or on shallow water marshes. They also use rocks in water and will often perch on trees. They have a clear sharp call note and the song consists of trills.
The breeding season is April to July and the nest is placed near fast running streams or rivers on an embankment between stones and roots. The male in display, makes short flights up into the air and descends slowly with fluttering flight accompanied by a rapid series of chipping high notes. In Europe the nests are often made in holes in manmade structures. The clutch consists of 3–6 speckled eggs and multiple broods may be raised with declining numbers in the clutch in subsequent broods. The usual clutch size is five in Ireland and the breeding success is about 80% with predation of eggs or chicks being the main cause of breeding failure. The Canary Islands population typically have smaller clutches and the breeding season is not as short and well marked as in populations at higher latitudes. The incubation period is about two weeks with chicks fledging within a fortnight. They live for a maximum of 8 years in the wild.
In some parts of the its range the white-throated dipper nests in the same habitats as the grey wagtail and there are some records of interspecific feeding of dipper chicks by adult wagtails.

We'll talk of sunshine and of song
And summer days when we were young
Sweet childish days that were as long
As twenty days are now

Western White Butterfly (I think?), on the Snow Lake Trail, Washington
I saw quite a few of these lovely butterflies flitting around on the flowers below a talus slope as I was hiking down from Snow Lake. Fortunately they seemed content to ignore me while I got my camera out and tried to get in a good spot to take a photo. There was also a smaller bright orange one but it did not seem to want to be photographed as it moved every time I pointed the camera in its direction!
And I am not at all a butterfly expert, so please feel free to correct me if I have misidentified the species!
There's no star too far, and no dream too grand. So shake the fairy dust and make a wish, the magic's in your hands!
ok...so there is this new flickr, unfortunately it has totally screwed up the way I keep in contact with people and how I comment on your photos, it has added much more time and I am afraid I will be miss seeing so much. And that isn't even going into DOUBLING the price for less services ... Hopefully our community will not be lost and flickr will listen.
Rhyothemis variegata, known as the Common Picture Wing or Variegated Flutterer, is a species of dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, found in South Asia. They appear to have weak flight and can easily be mistaken for butterflies.
Many thanks to all those who view, comment and or fave my photos....It is greatly appreciated ......Chandana

What can be the reason behind flower favourites? (They fit your photographic style? Childhood memories? Fragrance? Perfect material in which to project your self?) These remain a favourite for me, Spring or Fall.

Shades of colour, life's a flutter
Life's a flutter, life's a flutter
Flutter of shapes changing frames
Life's a flutter, life's a flutter
No more darkness in my belly
Life's a flutter, life's a flutter
No more darkness, feeling hazy
Getting better .... life's a flutter
