Not much of them this autumn because of the very dry summer and autumn.
See my pictures in Flickriver
Colorful algae thrive in a man made geyser in northern Nevada. Climate change is also threatening this natural wonder. Then this landscape photography will no longer be a celebration of natural beauty but part of a documentary of destruction.
Not as focused on all the drops as I would have liked but this is the first time ive seen a fly with this many drops, like jewels!
No, the Saxons are modern:). Dresden also has an airport. The balloon flight was apparently a leisure pleasure.

An image taken in Bolehill Wood this evening. I was lucky that the sun emerged from behind the clouds just before it set behind the hills. The golden hues at the top of the frame come from the autumnal leaves of a stand of Birch trees.
Decreased the aperture some so that I could more of the eyes in focus on this cloudy rainy day ... so the ISO went up and the shutter speed came down some.
Hand held macro.
Interesting just what this large fly with the bee body colors really is.
A spectacular and distinctive flycatcher, the bright red Vermilion Flycatcher inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey.
The male Vermilion Flycatcher often seeks to initiate copulation by delivering a butterfly or other showy insect to the female.
The oldest recorded Vermillion Flycatcher was a male, and at least 4 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mexico in 1972, the same country where he had been banded.

Thank You, Dianne and Julia, for Identifying this Bird !!
Yesterday we saw the sun in Berlin - what a sensation!
And the first visitor came to explore my Helleborus.

Gestern gab es Sonne in Berlin - was für eine Sensation!
Und der erste Besucher kam, um meinen Helleborus zu inspizieren.
Chloromyia formosa, Waffenfliege. I never knew that a fly with this name exists until I looked up my find.
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings...

Another one from my flight from Copenhagen to Frankfurt about a week ago.
Don't we all want to "fly away" these days? :)
But whereto?

"Jelly beans and what not together finds a childhood in a feather,
Up we fly with strong wings, what brings down is a little treasure,
A mere tempt lits the world to switch present and the dreamy whether!" - Vaishnavi Hirve

Just a wee macro of a fly I took the other day. I don't think the quality is in this picture (sharpness) for a macro shot but all the same I think it is beautiful picture so uploading it to see if others see the beauty....
