Through the Ether - Through my storm
There is nothing left to hold me

A walk across Virdiefield at lunchtime, enough snow fallen to make it interesting and a bit different. About a couple of hours of sunlight left.
I took this shot on the way to our cottage in the country here in Germany. The car was moving quite fast at the time and I took lots of shots with my iPhone through the window of the car… luckily I found this one amongst them!!
As I was sitting in the backyard the other evening, I noticed this vapour trail during the last ray of light and thought it would make for a great shot.

Contrails or vapour trails are line-shaped clouds produced by aircraft engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, typically at aircraft cruising altitudes several miles above the Earth's surface. Contrails are composed primarily of water, in the form of ice crystals...l have always been fascinated by them but never took a photo of them ..
Was certain I was never going to come across an interesting bug until I got my reward for helping to water our neighbours plants when I spied this hairy feller!
It’s a vapourer moth apparently after a bit of an image search, looks more impressive in this part of its life cycle as the moth form is less impressive. There has been a massive decline in moth and butterfly populations of late because of over use of insecticide and even light pollution issues. We’ve been trying to leave a chunk of our garden ‘wild’ at least that’s my excuse!
The rare Scarce Vapourer is superficially similar to the commoner Vapourer moth, but can be distinguished by the orange-brown and white marks near the forewing tip. This fresh male is captive bred.

An Air France Boeing 777 -228 (er) flying at 37,000 feet and travelling at 472 knots coming from Tokyo and going home to Paris , all useless information really but it does give the shot identity . Taken for the one shot a day 2023 group and just to see how the new Sig handled such a shot .
I'm very grateful for all your visits and would like to thank you now for stopping by, and any comments you may leave. Much appreciated, John...

This was one of a number feeding on a ceanosis in a neighbour's garden. The adult male of the species is easily recognisable by their rich reddish brown forewings. The females are virtually wingless and are unable to fly and remain close to the papal cocoon. They are found throughout Europe, temperate Asia, Siberia and the USA. As with most hairy caterpillars, the bristles are connected to venomous glands and function as a defensive barrier to would-be predators and cause irritation to the skin. They feed on the foliage of various trees and shrubs.
