The wings of a butterfly are covered in a multitude of miniature scales –thousands of them. And those colors you see when a butterfly flits across your yard are the reflection of various colors through the scales. The wings themselves are made up of a protein called chitin, which is the same protein that forms an insect’s exoskeleton. And much like an exoskeleton, chitin is transparent.

I'm really enjoying taking shots of terns coming from the water. Their wings are so beautiful.

Another gull shot from last week!! Rather a messy composition but loved the red legs, feet and beaks, not to mention the wings!!

This is a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill testing his wings in short fight. He does not realize how beautiful he is.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, award and/or critique my work, I truly appreciate each and every one! Thank you and I hope you enjoy your day!

We got a new feeding tray for our deck, so we're seeing a lot of chickadees, nuthatches, cardinals and tufted titmice up close.

New International Version

31 but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

The western pygmy blue is one of the smallest butterflies in the world and the smallest in North America. This one is less than 1/4 inch (0.635cm).

They move so fast. This one was very uncooperative and didn't stay in one place for long.

With less than 2 weeks remaining before the 2nd annual Labor Day Lift Off, I decided to review last year's event photos and I'll likely post a few more of them before the 2016 event begins ...

“Read and Pink Sweet" Pose

I really wasn't going to post this, as nothing is really in focus, but I decided I liked the sense of extreme motion of the wings. It is purely the result of a too slow shutter speed and what I think is some serious rolling shutter effect from the fully electronic silent shutter used in this shot.
