Flutterbies and more
Two butterflies from yesterday’s walk. Silver washed fritillary, Kaisermantel, Argynnis paphia
No idea what this one is, do you?
Did I mention that it is a pain in the behind to try to shoot macros when it’s 30Celsius out there, bending down, getting eaten by mosquitoes?
I have a Bandana fixed on my CamelPak (a water “container"), with which I grab the cam so I don’t get it all sweaty.
Summer is nice, but….
We spooked some ducks as well
And some yellow Beauty - Dark mullein, Schwarze Koenigskerze, Verbascum nigrum

Why can I never get butterflies to be still? I run all over hell and God's half-acre trying to capture a fluttering butterfly and everybody else on the net gets the damn things to pose. HOW!?

Ah, bribery does the trick! I guess my under the breath cursing doesn't help! Quilly you are not alone.
Love the effect on the ducks collage.

Kvelli, Du musst die magischen Ueberzeugungsworte benutzen "Langzeitvertrag mit National Geographic" *grins*
VioletSky - thanks

I usually do a bit better than this, but I still don't have a dedicated macro lens and it was just so amazingly hot

Very nice shots. Do you have a macro lens? I was thinking you might try that and shoot some cool shots of mosquitoes on your skin! : )

Love this series of life in the wild! I did manage to capture one butterfly shot during a walk by the beach! Just one! And I wasn't trying! Maybe trying too hard is one way not to photograph them!

Thom, thanks
Carletta, thanks - there were many more, but most I already have on camera
Lou, Black King candle.
But the english translation is dark mullein.
Amanda, thanks.
I guess I need to get an ID book for insects only one day.
Another bird ID book is coming. Can't always ask the guys in the forum

Very productive walk, Nicole. Great shot of the silver washed fritillary. Time for Lucy and I to take our walk soon - dodging the raindrops as we go. At least we don't have lots of mosquitos...

I love the ducks shot. Simply amazing! To bad about the mosquitoes! Have you tried repellents?
