Common Spotted Ladybird (Harmonia conformis)
The same Ladybird posted yesterday.I thought s/he deserved to have a more traditional 'portrait' posted.
View of lupine and balsam root wildflowers in the Gorge, shortly before the sun crested the horizon. It is almost always windy at this location. Dawn is the best chance for stillness. As it was, I was lucky to find a moment at 1/6 second when the flowers weren't in motion.
The absolute best spot at my aunt’s place in Gränna. This glass-enclosed veranda lets us enjoy the spectacular Jönköping sanctuary, from vibrant autumn trees to the vast waters, in perfect comfort. Sun, sky, and Swedish stillness.
I could stay in this spot all day. That blue sky reflecting in the glass is simply magnificent. Thank you for making me feel so at home, dear Aunt…
I think this may be the favorite of late of my recent captures here that focuses on the benches. The light in the sky was really great then.
Happy Bench Monday :))

View of the centre of the Belgian town of Ypres. Actually the town is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium and there the name is Ieper - but the French name of the town were made quite (in)famous during the First World War.
The view here includes the Cloth hall (Lakenhalle van Ieper or Les Halles aux draps d'Ypres) originally built in the 13th century and St Martin's cathedral (Sint-Maartenskathedraal or Cathédrale Saint-Martin) begun in the same century, to be finished in 1370. Both these building were more or less completely destroyed in the First World War and the buildings you see now are (very well done) copies of the originals (the cathedral built in the 1920s and the Cloth hall 1930s-60s).
The pink colour of the inner petals is often hard to see, so this is why I chose a side view of this lovely blossom. This is one of my favourites types of peony and I can hardly wait to see them in another four months or thereabouts.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
The truly spectacular Quiraing is an icon of Scotland. Many people visit only the first short section of path. My intention was to walk around it, but heavy rain prevented me from doing so. A real shame, as the site is so spectacular.
This image has been produced many times by photographers over the years. The view is of Loch Tummel looking west from the viewing platform called “Queen’s View”. The body of water is often called Loch Scotland because the outline of the water looks like the shape of the country. You can’t see it as well as you used to because the trees to image right have grown considerably in recent years and chops off the east coast.
You can’t really do too much to change the viewpoint with this shot so all you can do is try to get the best possible conditions. Alas, as is so often the case I didn’t plan this particularly well and missed the best of the light. I had been in the north west of Scotland earlier in the day and thought I could chance a sunset on route south. It didn’t quite work out as bright or as nice as I would have liked but there is a lot of drama going on in that sky.
