A few weeks back, a neighbour knocked my door one evening, as another neighbour had found an 'amazing looking' moth in her garden. I was told to grab camera and come! Was pleased to find this lovely Poplar hawkmoth there!
Such beauties!

This row of poplars caught my eye - a detail from a wide view from Allt yr Esgair in the Brecon Beacons
I'm having great fun revisiting old photos with the new software features in Lightroom. It is the best time to be a photographer (and I have been that for over 50 years now). Lightroom Classic is highly recommended!
I took many photos at this site back in the day ... a few others are in the first comment box. This is framed only slightly differently than another I posted years ago but you might be able to see the difference processing makes in the 'feel' of the image. I'm not sure whether I prefer the 'softer' processing version or this more higher contrast somewhat more saturated image? I am sure I like the framing of the earlier post better - see 3rd photo in the first comment box. :)

Poplar cottage has been identified as a wasteland cottage, that is, a landless, or near-landless, cottage built either on a wayside verge or as an encroachment on common land.
Common land refers to the non-arable and unenclosed parcels of land on a manor such as wastes, woods and pasture. It was owned by the manorial lord but the tenants had the right to its natural products – for food, fuel and materials – and to pasture their animals.
With the land so dry, a splash of colour from the poplars along the Waiau Toa or Clarence River was worth a stop.
Poplar plantation at Raby, Wirral.
A week of grey skies coupled with general lethargy had me after something different. Heavily cropped but in my defence the full image is of a sorry looking recently ploughed field with a couple of equally sorry looking horses stood in it!
It is autumn, and everything, like these poplars, begin to assume the most fabulous tonalities, the main problem is that isn't possible to capture them all, or there's a way?
A thick blanket of clouds split open on the horizon allowing the blinding sun to appear behind a row of poplar trees. I love the silhouettes it created on the horizon.

January 6, 2007: After pushing a loaded coal train up through the Nolichucky Gorge, the Poplar Pusher trundles through Chestoa, Tennessee on its way back to Erwin Yard.
A Populus nigra L., commonly known as a Lombardy poplar or black poplar, grows alongside a house in Pine Mountain Club, Kern County, California. This resort community and golf course consists of private inholdings within Los Padres National Forest. Native to Europe, northwestern Africa, and western Asia, the tall, columnar, fast growing Lombardy poplar is used in landscaping and windbreaks and is not native to California. As seen here, it is beautiful during the fall.
Species: Laothoe populi.
Despite its name you don't have to live near poplars to see this hawkmoth. Its larvae do feed on a wide range of poplars but also on various willows. This is the most widely distributed hawkmoth in Britain and is a common visitor to gardens. Info: Saga/Home-garden / magazine.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
An old shot re-cropped recently for a talk I gave last week. I set myself the task of talking to each picture while they changed every 5-10 seconds for 10 minutes. The day before it felt like I was back at Uni sitting an exam or a viva but in the end I didn't forget too much or say too much and some people thanked me afterwards so it felt worth while. Subject was "Beauty".
