Green-veined White 2011-08-24 These small butterflies are flitting around gardens and meadows - very difficult to catch on camera (at least for me). Thanks for yesterday's comments and for posting excellent pictures. I didn't get around to much commenting yesterday - spent most of the day cleaning up the cellar to get away from the heat.
This summer's dragonfly 2011-08-19 I haven't seen many dragonflies this summer - none in the garden. So I went out yesterday to take dragonfly pictures at the municipal greenhouse gardens - and found one (this one) almost ceaselessly cruising his territory around the edge of a pond. When he rested briefly on a reed I snapped this shot. Many thanks for the comments on yesterday's picture. Many of you commented on the perspective. Yes indeed - I was lying on my back shooting upwards. The things we do for a picture.
