Day 207/365: Brimstone butterfly in flight

[nanila]

Brimstone butterfly in flight after drinking from crocosmia flowers.

I had meant to post something else today, but I fell asleep with Keiki when he went to bed at 8 PM. I only woke up because I heard the door go when the bloke went outside to have a look at Mars, which is very visible next to the Moon right now. Don't forget to see it paired with tomorrow night's blood Moon if you're into that sort of thing!

Wow, it's so pretty! We don't have any butterflies like that here.

They're so distinctive! That greeny-yellow is incredibly bright.

Another corker of a photo! I have to keep reminding myself that you have a Proper Camera with Proper Lenses, which helps - but you also have an excellent eye (which isn't buyable :-) ).

Heh, thank you! It does help to have a Proper Camera for these sorts of shots. Phones are really darn good these days, but there are still some things that they can't do quite as well.

The one thing I miss having moved away from the chalk is my chalk hill blues.

[nanila]

Oh, there's nothing quite as beautiful as a cloud of blues!

Wow, what a pretty butterfly!

[nanila]

It is, and so distinctive!
