An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly with severe wing damage sipping nectar from a fresh Canadian Thistle flower head. Wing damage due to activity around sharp spiny thistles will likely lead to an early end for this butterfly's season.

Considered common and more abundant, this year.

Just two tassels hanging out, Two of the same for a Smile on Saturday!!!😊

The grass tassels blowing in the evening sun. The tiny white feathery wings for the seeds. Another site that shows me fall is here for this bush to catch evening light as it does with the north wind breezing through to wave it through the light streaming between the houses west of the plant.

Peck's Skipper butterfly busily checking the nectar supply of a Scotch Thistle floret.

Common and abundant during late Summer.

Past its prime but taken on a new beauty of Winter's light, a close up of the seeds to be.

Last of the water drops crashes for now. Hope you enjoyed these and that you have a wonderful week ahead. :-)

The Celts settled in the middle of a swampy landscape in the Rhone Delta and traces of the Romans can still be found today, especially in the city of Arles.

After Rome, the most Roman remains can be found there. Of the eight monuments in Arles (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Roman amphitheater is undoubtedly the most important.

It was built in 90 AD and could accommodate up to 21,000 spectators.

Today, the Provençal bull games take place here.

In contrast to bullfights in Spain, the Course Camarguaise is bloodless. The bullfighter tries to tear a tassel wrapped around the animal's horns with the help of an iron claw.

The bulls come from the Camargue and are allowed to return to the pasture there after the game.

Das römische Amphitheater in Arles

Schon die Kelten haben sich inmitten einer Sumpflandschaft im Rhone-Delta niedergelassen und Spuren der Römer begegnet man heute noch. Besonders in der Stadt Arles.

Nach Rom kann man dort die meisten römischen Überreste finden. Von den acht Denkmälern in Arles (UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) ist das römische Amphitheater zweifellos das bedeutendste.

Es wurde 90 n. Chr. erbaut und bot bis zu 21.000 Zuschauern Platz.

Heute finden hier provenzalische Stierspiele statt.

Im Gegensatz zu den Stierkämpfen Spaniens geht es beim Course camarguaise unblutig zu. Der Stierkämpfer versucht mit Hilfe einer Eisenkralle dem Tier eine um die Hörner gewickelte Quaste zu entreißen.

Die Stiere kommen aus der Camargue und dürfen nach dem Spiel auch wieder dorthin zurück auf die Weide.

When it comes to corn this part is as delicious to look at as the corn is to eat.

Macro Mondays theme Leather

After much deliberation I returned to my original photos which I wasn't happy with at the time. This was originally a portriat shot of the entire tassel of my wonderfully vivid 70's style handbag. Except the whole tassle was way outside of the group's size requirements. I ended up flipping it (the image that is), rotating it through 90º to landscape and then cropping it. I think I'm now reasonably happy with it (although not very happy with having wasted so much time!).

Happy Macro Mondays!!!

The evening autumn light illuminates the fall leaves and old man's beard lichen tassels.

As found: A tassel from a black walnut tree drifted across our yard to land on a hosta.

This tassel tree was planted by the Nature Center at the park. It's not a native species so I don't know why they did it, but it does have a spectacular flower show. The species is native to eastern Asia: eastern and central China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

all the better to hug you 'lil sis...

While enjoying nectar from a tassel flower (her compensation), this female wasp is in the perfect position for the male wasp to move in and mate with her (his compensation) which, by the way, he was successful at after a few attempts of her fighting him off!
