This could easily be mistaken for a piece of Birch tree but it's a Buff-Tip moth. I love its camouflage!

I have a dream, in a galaxy far, far away! Once upon a time, in a mightily different world we could and did travel to places that could blow our mind. This was one of those places.
When we are planning to go somewhere on a holiday we have never been before, we often envisage it in our mind. Look up photos somewhere on the net, read Lonely Planet books (probably a bit old fashioned now) or just get tips from others. But some places are just so far from what one imagines, you are left in awe. And this was one for us, a mouth gaping and unexpected place.
While this photo was taken on our second visit in 2015, this city left us breathless in its majesty whenever we stood on its main street and looked around. We could never have imagined what the eye could see that little else could demonstrate the reality of.
This tram or light rail vehicle if you want to use the modern nomenclature is descending the hill down South St. Andrew Street, Edinburgh, Scotland and is about to turn to its right into the main thoroughfare of town, Princes Street. It's in what is known as the New Town. If I turned 180 degrees I could look across Princes Street Gardens in the valley below and then up to the rear of the buildings lining the Royal Mile on the rise on the other side, the famous street (really six streets in one) that runs uphill to the right and Edinburgh Castle sitting on its rock high above the city. A truly magnificent sight.
COVID-19 has changed our world in ways we see and in ways we cannot begin to imagine. It's been some 18 months now and grappling with an ever mutating virus and populations who are ever more wary on one hand and ever more anxious to break out on the other, we still see no end. It's taught us a lot, much of it worse than a big policeman's boot up the backside but I know one thing when I look back at pictures like this, I am thankful for the life and opportunities we had in life and hope and pray that one day, especially for those yet to experience them, whatever they are that at some stage we will get back to normality or even better than what we would regard as normal. That's my retrospective and introspective for today.
By the way, before I leave this minor tome, I should mention that the good food people of Edinburgh who serve up some mighty fare round town think the electro-magnetic fields caused by the trams have acted rather like the Pied Piper and stirred up the rats. At least they told us so and we saw and we believe! To be fair, we saw one rat in a cafe close to this spot and that's what the staff told us and the others who were standing on chairs while they "dealt" with the problem! One of those funny travel experiences. We had more than one in that cafe but the other is for another time.

The "wing tip" of a bee from the family Xylocopa. It's really amazing that the normally brown wing becomes blue in the diffuse light. This photo was created by putting together two different stacked image. A total of "120" photos were taken for this stack panorama. This is the first photo of the my new "Wing Series".

At last the Orange-tips (Anthocharis cardamines) have emerged at my local patch, which is near to Loddington, Northants (approx 600ft ASL)
Here is a rather handsome male from yesterday morning
Tip 1: You Can Create Amazing Designs with Patchwork and it is very calming too!
Great Tips From Rachel Dodds
Here are a few little ideas that will help with any patchwork sewing that you do.
-Use spray starch on your fabric – this helps to stop the edges stretching and ruining your...
From the Washington Trails Association:
The furthest northwest tip of the contiguous United State, Cape Flattery provides a dramatic backdrop to a surprisingly accessible hike. It's managed by the Makah Tribe, who provide permits for parking here at Washburn's General Store, The Makah Museum, and many other locations in Neah Bay. As you drive through on the way to the trailhead, be sure to purchase yours -- they're good for the year, and you can also use it for Shi Shi Beach.
From the trailhead, depart down a wide, graveled trail into open forest. Heading gently downhill, the trail narrows down to boardwalk, keeping hikers out of the worst of the mud before transitioning to rooty tread. Signs along the way encourage you to stay on the trail; please honor these. This area sees enough traffic that a spur trail can quickly impact the area in a bad way. Preserve your future visits here by remaining on trail during this visit.
Eventually, the trail returns to boardwalk, carrying you over a boggy sections as the wind intensifies. You're approaching the point. Three turnoffs exist that allow you to see views from all sides of the point. The first branches off to the left, to a viewing platform that allows you to peer down the sheer south side of the point. The second, a few hundred feet further down the trail, is a two-layered affair, where you can enjoy an expansive view north from the upper deck, and a more intimate view of the sea caves below from the lower layer.
The third and last is, appropriately, the piece-de-resistance: a viewing platform accessed via a very steep but short stepladder. Straight ahead is Tatoosh Island. A lonely lighthouse sits on the island, which is constantly buffeted by waves and wind. To the north, it's the rocks of Cape Flattery reef, while to the south it's Kessiso Rocks. Birds wing in the breeze, and the seas around here teem with life.
The constant pounding surf and the meeting of water with land here provides an ideal place for animals of all sorts to feed. As you gaze out on the Pacific, look for seagulls, cormorants, shorebirds of many other sorts, and marine animals like whales or otters playing in the surf.
When you've had your fill, return the way you came.

Although Willington has been flooded for months I went looking for hairy dragonflies none seen by me but a possible sighting from the hide by 2 other guys. I did see a marsh harrier, a bittern and my first damselfies for 2024 plus a few other birds.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
Delighted to see my first Orange-tip male Butterfly in my gdn this morning in spite of a cool wind. the underside shot was taken with a lot of zoom as it was still very mobile. Still not seeing as many butterflies as usual by this time of year & not seen any Small Tortoiseshell's, most unusual but those are reported as declining species
