I absolutely love how this one came out. I really hope it comes across as a really old photo. There might actually be four good wheels, but we only see two so I said two.

At the risk of overdoing it, I'm posting a second image of this lovely storm - this one without the dramatic lightning, but with some great structure lit from lightning within it.
In May/June 2024 I went storm chasing for the third time. If you'd like, you can read about my trip in the blog post on my website.
You can see all my storm chasing images from my 2017, 2018 and 2024 chases in this album.
This photo of two tiny European Skipper butterflies 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.

Two straw huts among mountains' peaks in Northern Greece. The skies are cloud-laden in late September. Silence descends over the deserted place.
There is a monochrome (black and white) version of this shot, whose mood is reminiscent of a poem line, in Rudyard Kipling's Song of the Banjo:
“In the Silence of the Herder's Hut…”

Two big rocks afar, and two smaller rocks close by. The lighting here in the Courthouse area of Arches National Park was fabulous. Recommend setting aside at least one sunrise here if you make the visit to Arches.
I've never taken the portrait of these two rocks before, so something a little dithering from the Elgol shore for me.
