Cuiaba River
The Pantanal

While on the Cuiaba River at night, I stayed on the floating hotel called the Balsa Hotel Transpantanal. The hotel was anchored along the water’s edge next to the shore, so close you could reach out and touch the plants growing there. My cabin was located towards the side facing the shore, and I saw these butterflies resting on some leaves and thought it would be great to take some pictures. I photographed several of these unknown butterflies, and since I have been back I have been searching for the name of these on the internet to no avail, leaving me with another unknown animal.
Ger Bosma sent me an URL to a website showng this butterfly.
I do have another image closer to the one described. You can find the website information here.

This butterfly had been thru some hard times and a lot of the color had worn off of the wings.
These are some flowers which are growing in our garden, but my parents and I don't know what kind of flowers they are. I originally place the single flower on the left side of the picture, but on my computer I realized that the bokeh on the right side doesn't look that good. Hence, I cropped it to a square, where the bad corner sharpness of the Oreston lens results in an image which is not very sharp. Anyway, I again like the painterly look and I hope you like it too!
Need help identifying this six legged bird.

Thanks for looking!

Imagine you're standing at Kirkjufellsfoss and the vog (volcanic smog) is so thick that you can only see Kirkjufell in a blur... That's exactly what happened to me when I wanted to photograph the sunrise at 3:00 a.m. However, the adverse weather conditions had the advantage that no one else was there, and I took advantage of the unique opportunity to photograph Kirkjufellsfoss from an unusual perspective.
