A site to behold, soul stirring even, the plains of the Masai Mara teeming with hundreds of thousands of Wildebeest and Zebra.
The Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus) is a medium sized butterfly with a wingspan of about 70–88 mm. Common throughout India. It flies low close to ground. Prefers shade in forest habitats in dry summer.
It has black body with white spots. The wings has tawny color with black and white spots. They lay their eggs on milkweeds on which their larvae (caterpillars) feed and that is why they are generally known as Milkweed butterfly. The other common name is African Monarch. It belongs to the Danae subfamily of the brush footed butterfly family Nymphalidae.
Host Plant: Parthenium also called gajar ghas, is a genus of flowering plants native to South America. Parthenium entered India with imported food grains in the mid-1950s.
One of the world’s seven most devastating and hazardous weeds, Parthenium has invaded millions of hectares across the country including crop land, wasteland and forest areas; invaded 14.25 million hectares of farm land during 2001-07, compared to two million hectares in 1991-2000.

This part of outback NSW is pretty desolate. Saltbush as far as the eye can see, and not much else.
Sometimes an emu might break the monotony.

This may be the closest time I have even been to a butterfly especially this kind of petite size one. I tried to approach it as close as I could and would like to shot its details including its mouthparts(proboscis).
最愛拍這種可愛的小灰蝶，那天在社區院子裡遇見多隻小灰蝶，就匍匐前進，想要盡量接近，這應該是我最接近蝴蝶的一次近拍，連虹吸式口器都拍到了！只是有點爆框了！（殘念～）手持1/80秒，沒動到，真是奇蹟！

Although it may be difficult to believe, the picturesque flatlands lying between the border of eastern DRC and Burundi have played host to thousands of refugees, and have seen more than their fair share of violence and atrocities over the past 20 years.

Another bird from my trip to South Texas. It's about the size of a chicken and is usually found foraging in a small group.
Micropteryx calthella, on a single buttercup. I count 28 of them.
My thanks to Mothfather for the identification.

I've opened a new account with ipernity.com. I'm still figuring it out, but it seems to be very much like the old flickr. I'll let you know how I get on...

Besides shooting wildlife, I've been trying out the new lens (80-400) on close-up images of flowers and insects as well. It hasn't been a good year here for wildflowers or butterflies but still I've gotten a few images, enough for a short series....
The Des Plaines Theater opened in 1926 as a vaudeville palace under the ownership of the Polka Brothers. The architects were Betts & Holcum, who created its interior in lavish Spanish Baroque style with seating for 1,000 patrons, an orchestra pit, a grand organ. The exterior was Art Deco, complete with a brightly colored, patterned terra cotta façade.
This theater spent a couple decades awkwardly split into 2-screen format, but has since been returned to its original configuration.
Just one today. Taken on the way home from some church business. Near Finnegan's Corners in Goshen, NY.
