Eine Frühlingsimpression von der Bad Nenndorfer Süntelbuchenallee: Süntel-Buchen beeindrucken durch ihre verdrehten, verkrüppelten, miteinander verwachsenen Äste und ihre sehr kurzen, drehwüchsigen Stämme. Sie wachsen mehr in die Breite als in die Höhe. Dabei erreichen sie nur selten eine Höhe von über 15 Metern. Mit ihren herabhängenden Zweigen bilden die Süntelbuchen zeltähnliche, halbkugel- oder pilzförmige Kronen aus. Die Wuchsform ist erblich, ihre Entstehung aber noch ungeklärt. (Wikipedia)
A spring impression from the Bad Nenndorfer Süntelbuchenallee: Süntel beech impresses with their twisted, crippled, intertwined branches and their very short, rotating stems. They grow more in width than in height. They rarely reach a height of more than 15 meters. With their hanging branches, the beech trees form tent-like, hemispherical or mushroom-shaped crowns. The growth form is hereditary, but its origin is still unclear. (wikipedia)

Waited patiently for this roosting male Chalkhill Blue, to wake, rotate to face the warmth of the rising sun....He awoke, started to rotate, but stopped with the sun backlighting, and warming from below....he remained in that position for about ten seconds, then took to the air.
You can clearly see the underwing pattern, and the blue and charcoal pattern of the upper......Totally translucent...!! Totally unusual....
When I was a child, I was told by my beloved grandparents that the winged seed pods of English maple trees were translucent faerie wings waiting to be collected by their new owners.
Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.
Today was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs.
I have taken several hundred, some of which I will upload over the coming months. However this one of the winged maple seeds which reminded me of by childhood in England particularly resonated with me, so I thought I would upload it without delay.
This flower appears to hang upside-down but that is its natural position. Backlight from the sun makes it translucent.

This is Grape, a 9 months old male red squirrel, posing in the sun. I like how the sun shines through the ear and how it makes his whiskers glow (Squirrels-2019-5841.jpg)

After watching a Nature show featuring the beautiful hummingbirds of the world I decided to pay tribute to one on the many amazing hummers that I saw in Costa Rica this past April.
