A puddle from a wee stroll this afternoon - have a great Saturday evening - cheers (I'm working on my iPhone photography as I've traded in my Nikon D500 & am waiting on Santa delivering a new toy at Xmas) I'm like wee boy very excited - I suspect I'll not be able to sleep the night before he comes down the chimney. However I've got to say this iPhone is a brilliant camera.
Various butterflies mud-puddling in the Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand. In flight is a common bluebottle.
Wikipedia: Graphium sarpedon, the common bluebottle or blue triangle in Australia, is a species of swallowtail butterfly that is found in South and Southeast Asia, as well as eastern Australia. There are approximately sixteen subspecies with differing geographical distributions.
Mud-puddling, or simply puddling, is a behavior most conspicuous in butterflies, but occurs in other animals as well, mainly insects; they seek out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion and they suck up the fluid.
Snowmelt provided a small puddle and a photo opportunity
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
Some of the snow melted and the gold leaves of fall fell into the puddle. I didn't like this photo very much, but a good friend liked it very much so I am posting it for him. Sometimes beauty is all around us and other times it is right under our feet.
