The creeping thistles (Cirsium arvense) are flowering everywhere right now. They are very popular among bees and butterflies but I had never seen a cricket on it before. This great green bush cricket didn't stay put for long as the bee was too annoying.
I got lucky today as one of our local orchid experts took the time to show me a hidden meadow full of flowering green-winged orchids. They have an amazing variety of color, ranging from white, through pink, to deep purple. I'll have to return there in a few weeks when other species of orchids will come into bloom.

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Tropaeolum commonly known as Nasturtium. Such a pretty leaf with the sun shining through.
This week's theme for Macro Mondays is: patterns in nature. I think this fits the bill.
Several species of anole lizards are found in Florida. The two most common small anoles are Green Anole and Brown Anole.

Reed abstract
That was the capture I liked most from my last weeks visit to a small pond nearby. I was about to look for dragonflies, water lilies or some other interesting creatures, but it ended in some abstract trials with the evening light in the reed.
I'm always fascinated of the colors and structures when the low standing sun brings plants like the reed to life.
I hope you enjoy it too!

The Red-breasted Merganser is a shaggy-headed diving duck also known as the "sawbill"; named for its thin bill with tiny serrations on it that it uses to keep hold of slippery fish.
Males are decked out with a dark green shaggy head, a red bill and eye, and a rusty chest.
Females lack the male's bright colors but also don the same messy do. It parades around coastal waters and large inland lakes in Winter.
