There's a palamedes in the house... Okay, it's in the yard and not in the house but I always get so excited when these beauties visit. They are more rare than most of the other butterflies that visit. I say most because the zebra swallowtail is the most rare butterfly visitor I get. And yes, I will chase the palamedes and the zebra swallowtail all over the yard.
I have red bay and swamp bay in my yard, both are host plants for the palamedes. I have yet to find any eggs to raise in protective custody. Maybe one day :) The same goes for the zebra swallowtail, I have never found one to raise indoors. I do have paw paws, which are the host plants for the zebra swallowtail I saw one of those through the window the other day but when I went out to chase it, I was out of luck because it was no where to be found.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope your day is splendid. Happy snapping :)
Same place as the preceding shot but about ten minutes later. The ice had just about melted but left the sparkling drops of water so I took a shot as nothing to lose...
Seaford.
A male in the same location as my previous image. This one is the following day with the butterfly soaking up the rays in the late afternoon.
Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.
I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Same Downtown Dubai viewpoint as the prior shot but this one in the morning. The air was still hazy and very humid.
GPS is the exact spot of the shot.

The same bird as yesterday, she stayed put long enough that I had a chance to shift over so I could get a bettter background. Glendale, Missouri
Stop the hunting in the lanes
stop the unnecessary pain
Stop the culling of the deer
Stop the foxes facing fear.
Protect our wildlife
it's not a game
stop the ugliness and the shame
Not all humans are the same!

Same day and still early morning - 08h30, about half an hour later than yesterday's post at sunrise. Although sunrise is over by now, it is still early morning light which kept me going for another half hour.
I spent three days around Vestrahorn, allowing me to capture this iconic site under a variety of weather conditions, both in the early mornings and late afternoons. The whole series is at www.flickr.com/photos/132192297@N04/albums/72157677866574087.
A composite of the same bird with two different sides of it. This is one of the rarest of all warblers found in Ontario. They are flagged as 'sensitive' species on eBird and thus no report of sighting is available to public in general.
After years of restoration effort of their habitat in Simcoe County Forest, about an hour drive north of Toronto, 6 males showed up this year with the exciting prospect that females would soon follow and they start breeding there. Arranged visitation was organized to allow people to see or hear them from safe distance. One could hear them sing and occasionally see them at a distance. However, finding them closer and out in the open was sheer luck. On this day (it was my second attempt), after an hour of waiting I finally saw one male chasing a Cedar Waxwing and landing on a red pine tree nearby for a total of 20 seconds of viewing, just enough to get some decent photos. Needless to say that it was a life bird for me.
were just having a blast creating havoc in the middle of the river. The little dude on the left was the one inciting most of the action, LOL. He's also the same cub that was harassing mama bear in my previous post. This is similar to a pic I posted a while back. Got a ton of them playing. So fun to watch. Hope you don't get bored with grizzly bear pics. I know I never could. But maybe I'm weird, who knows, LOL!
Same morning as before but a different type of shot , its the same fence but with two horses, Mark ( code.dude ) and I encouraged those two over so that we could take some shots they came to see what we were doing we only had time to take a few !
"Have you always been a refugee
Going back to where you came
And even though you are much older now
In your heart you feel the same
Tell me how it used to be
Swimming in the coldest sea
And if you hide your memory
Could you open up your Heart
To a world that tore you apart ?"

It was just a very ordinary walk in the same Helsinki suburb surroundings, still with patches of ice here and there, but sun already was shining warmer and friendlier than a couple of weeks ago. And then behind a turn of the path opened a view over a little bay, and sunlight fell on the tops of last year dropworts in so marvelous angle that all the scene was flooded with light... I deliberately let the flare come into the photo, because it reveals the feeling from that moment like fairies would be dancing in the branches and chasing the winter away. :-)
