Thymelicus sylvestris
Bright orange-brown wings held with forewings angled above hind wings. Males have a thin black line through the centre of fore-wing. Essex Skipper is similar but has black tips to the antenna (best-viewed head-on) and shorter scent brand which runs parallel to forewing edge rather than angled.
Small Skippers are insects of high summer. Although they spend much of their time basking or resting among vegetation, they are marvellous flyers, manoeuvring expertly through tall grass stems. It is these darting flights, wings glinting golden-brown in the sunlight, that normally alert an observer to their presence. Closer examination will reveal many more individuals nectaring or basking with their wings held in the half-open posture distinctive of skipper butterflies. The butterfly is widespread in southern Britain and its range has expanded northwards in recent years.
Small skipper caterpillars hatch in late summer. They eat their own eggshell and then go into hibernation within the grass sheath where they emerged. They come out again the following spring, ready to feed and metamorphose.
very windy day ....was lucky and happy with this shot .
Another view of this scene , slightly different angle from previous ones.. This is Langdale in the Lake District.
This time I took the -3 exposure and lifted the shadows (normally I would merge 0 and -3 exposures in HDR program because LX7 has limited dynamic range). Very pleased with the detail in the foreground, which is almost black in the original. But even though it is -3 EV, some highlights are still blown.
This early morning view is in the Flinders Ranges National Park of South Australia looking over the Bunyeroo Valley towards a small section of the majestic Heysen Range which dominates the background.
The hiking trail that climbs up the hill on the left is a minor part of the 1,200 km Heysen Trail which winds its way from Cape Jervis on the Fleurien Peninsula to Parachilna Gorge which is about 67 km off to the right of this scene.
Hans Heysen 1877 -1968 was a German-born Australian artist famous for his watercolours of the Australian bush and for his depictions of the arid landscapes in the Flinders Ranges.
Black and white is the way out for heroes when you're forced to shoot facing the sun in bright sunshine. And that's only because your family refuses to wait the two to three hours until the golden hour and then accept the two to three hour descent instead of taking the last gondola of the Tegelberg ropeway back. And that at just 30 degrees in the shade.
That was a joke, of course, because of course they have every right in the world to do so. We're not up here because of me alone.
And even though the lighting conditions were suboptimal, I had to take in and capture this view, with all these the many mountain peaks one next and and behind the other.
This row of trees on the first ridge appealed to me in particular (I think the way back leads along there and at some point I'll do it to myself, but only to me).
Incidentally, behind this first mountain chain it is quite steep, quite far down. And somewhere down there, Neuschwanstein Castle sticks to the mountain (at least it always looks that it does from the other side).
Schwarz-Weiß ist der Ausweg für Helden, wenn du gezwungen bis bei strahlendem Sonnenschein in Richtung der Sonne zu fotografieren. Und das nur, weil deine Familie sich weigert die zwei bis drei Stunden bis zur Goldenen Stunde zu warten und dann den zwei bis drei stündigen Abstieg in Kauf zu nehmen anstatt mit der letzten Gondel der Tegelbergbahn zurück zu fahren. Und das bei gerade mal 30 Grad im Schatten.
Das war natürlich ein Scherz, denn dazu haben sie selbstverständlig jedes Recht der Welt. Wir sind ja nicht wegen mir allein hier oben.
Und auch, wenn die Lichtverhältnisse suboptimal waren, ich musste diesen Ausblick, mit den vielen Berggipfeln neben. und hintereinander unbedingt festhalten.
Ganz besonders hat mich diese Baumreihe auf dem ersten Kamm angesprochen (Ich glaube dort führt der Rückweg entlang und irgendwann tue ich mir das auch mal an, aber eben nur mir).
Hinter dieser ersten Bergkette geht es übrigens ziemlich steil, ziemlich weit nach unten. Und irgendwo da unten klebt dann Schloß Neuschwanstein am Berg (zumindest sieht es von der anderen Seite immer so aus).

The Omnimount Washington Resort is on the left (looks like a castle).
I drove all the way from northeastern Washington state to the Snowy Range in southeastern Wyoming before I finally got out of the forest fire smoke. It was good to see clean air again....
The Mitchell Range lies west of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park and the Mitchell River. Its eastern boundary is the Kootenay River. Its northern boundary is the Simpson and Vermillion Rivers.
One of several scenic ranges that make up the West Elk Mountains, the Ruby Range is the backdrop for some beautiful views of fall color. The aspen on the southern flanks of the range make up the most extensive stands in Colorado, only a portion of which are seen here from Beckwith Pass. The two prominent peaks are Ruby Peak and Mount Owen. The conifer forests here have escaped the outbreaks of spruce beetle that have killed numerous trees in surrounding mountain ranges.
A view of the Ruahine Ranges from our picnic spot last weekend - a little section that I thought demonstrated the rugged beauty of these, even a tiny bit of snow still hanging on in there!

My long range plan is to go through 11 years of old photos, throw a lot away, and rework the best ones in Lightroom. This was made from a color photo using a preset I created and applied.
Cloud and mist tinged with a little wood fire smoke shroud the valleys of the border ranges as the sun sets.
A female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis canadensis) looks up while I take her photo near the mouth of North Fork Canyon west of Cody, Wyoming. The sheep winter along the lower elevations of the Absaroka Mountains.
From our campsite in Karamea I spied the setting sun hitting the ranges, so it was a race inside to grab the long lens and see what I could get.
Lacy Phacelia: Possibly the Best Plant for Pollinators!
lacy phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), also called purple tansy, blue tansy, bee phacelia, fiddleneck and lacy scorpion-weed.
This easy-to-grow annual is certainly the one that attracts the most pollinators to my garden. Due to the abundant and rapidly renewed nectar its flowers produce, it always seems to be buzzing with bees, and a wide range of bees at that, including bumblebees, honeybees and all sorts of native bees. Plus, it attracts other pollinators as well, including hoverflies, butterflies and even hummingbirds. Another advantage is that it blooms over a very long season: most of the summer!
Tryfan standing prominently on the left of the range. It's actually the smallest of the three mountains. Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr are hiding in the clouds.
The Arrowsmith Range in the South Island of New Zealand runs parallel to the main ranges of the Southern Alps. The highest point is Mount Arrowsmith (far left, 2,781 metres (9,124 ft)). The view to the range goes across Lake Heron and Mt Arrowsmith Station. In the Canterbury high country large farms are called stations to distinguish them from smaller, more intensive lowland farms. Historically, settlers had to find unoccupied open land and run sheep to establish the right to lease it. The high country farms in eastern the foothills of the Southern Alps still work on longterm, perpetually renewable leases.
The Wind River Range rises on the horizon in this view shot in early November from just east of Farson, Wyoming.
