......caught by a light breeze, slowly disentangle, drifting towards a new beginning.....all quite mysterious.
A Japanese anemone from my winter garden.
These tiny autumn leaves seemed to have nestled in the base of a tree that has multiple trunks, while the pathway beyond waits for next seasons golfers.
This sweetheart was really tiny. Believe me: it looks much larger in the picture.

A quite tiny Leek Orchid and difficult to spot. I wouldn't have found this one had I not been on my hands and knees photographing another.Fairly common and widespread from Shark Bay in the north to Eyre on the Great Australian Bight. This one near Jerramungup in the wheatbelt.

This photo of a tiny European Skipper butterfly was taken on 23 July 2015, at Darryl Teskey's property. These unusual butterflies have such large eyes : )
"The eyes of Skippers are different from those of other butterflies. They have a space between the cones and rods which allows light from each ommatidium to spill into neighbouring rods, effectively increasing their resolution and sensitivity. As a result Skippers can fly very accurately from one spot to another. This different type of eye structure is one of the reasons why taxonomists place them in a different super-family to all other butterflies - the Hesperioidea."

On this day, five of us spent the day botanizing the land belonging to Darryl Teskey, SW of Calgary and W of Millarville (maybe a 40-minute drive from Calgary). This was the first time I had been there and I'm so glad I was invited to go - I would have missed all sorts of things, including a family of Ruffed Grouse and several fungi. These Grouse were the rare rufous-morph, and we startled them when we were walking through the forest in their direction. Usually, you don't see Grouse because they are so well-hidden. When you get fairly close (sometimes very close) to them, they suddenly "explode" from the tangle of shrubs and plants of the forest floor, making ones heart beat fast! We were taken by surprise when we came across a nearby statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, who is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment. A nice idea, I thought.
Our walk took us over grassland and through forest, many places treacherous with so many fallen logs which were often barely visible. I have never, ever seen so many tiny Skipper butterflies - there must have been hundreds or even thousands of these bright orange beauties that were flying or perched on flowers of every colour.
Fortunately, the rain stayed away until we started driving back to Calgary. Quite a lot of black clouds, reminding me of the tornado that passed through Calgary just the day before (22 July 2015).
Our purpose, as always, was to find and list everything that we saw - wildflowers, trees, grasses, birds, insects, fungi, etc.. Our leader then compiles an extensive list of our finds and this is later sent to the landowner, along with any photos that we might take. Always a win/win situation, as the landowner then has a much better idea of just what is on his property, and we have a most enjoyable day.
I have a few of these in my yard, I have not been able to identify them. They are under a centimeter across. This is in mowed grass. Taken with Tamron 90mm Macro and Pentax DA 1.4 converter.
The Albert in the foreground. In pretty neglected state, but I have great affection for her. She keeps being moved around, so I was happy to discover her again yesterday on the Ballard side of the ship canal. My affection stems partly from her lines and looks and partly from her current name and the name of her home port (Homer), as well as the fact she has one or two saplings growing on her (not seen in this sketch). My car, similarly neglected, also has one or two tiny plants growing out it—the moisture-rich climate of the Pacific NW. And have found out that she is originally from Iceland, built in 1957, and a veteran of the Þorskastríðin, "cod wars", a series of disputes between Iceland and the UK over fishing rights, resolved in favour of Iceland.
Tiny sweat bee.
That’s a fingernail sized flower. Quite surprising to catch as much detail and colour in such a small creature without a flash, the angle and height of the sun, camera and subject all conspiring to that end, so good fortune rather than skill. Didn’t get the eye but that can be testing even with a flash and I kind of like it as is. Those branched structures under the chin are plumose hairs whose function is pollen gathering. The leathery quality to the antenna is rather fascinating.

Many thanks for all of the Favs, comments and views HMM.
You can see the white pollen of the flower sticking to the bee's legs and abdomen.

Crabtree Nature Center, Barrington Hills, Illinois
Happened to stop by Crabtree Preserve yesterday and saw these little birds enjoying the feeders. There was another photographer at the scene. He was happy to see us and gave us a standing ovation :)
Black Capped Chickadee
At first glance Pixie looks like she is trying to tap-dance. {Maybe we should train her } However she is really lying horizontally on the stairs which means no-one can pass her without being attacked !
