Saw my first butterfly of the year. A little, tiny Spring White. Tried to take its picture but it had other ideas.

Dear Friends of rivers, 🪶
Walked from Tooting to Carshalton ponds, along the Wandle river. Came across the enclosed little egret, fishing. Where were the wer-fishies? I did not see any! ​:ablobcatgoogly:​
Things I did see. Ripening #mulberries, ripening plums, a #magickal #community #garden. That was truly wonderful. Herbs, statues, many benches and experiences to enjoy. ​:ablobcatbouncefast:​
It was early, I caught the bus back. Lot of new road works. 🛣️

Also very pleased to see a red admiral #flutterby in my tiny home garden. 🦋Seems it is summer. As a failed vegan, had bean and organic salads for lunch. The fish fingers were not so vegan. However fish don't have fingers, so did not feel too bad ​:dopefish:​

Be kind everyone. You know it makes sense ❤️

Carol Pasternak shared this great video of a Luna caterpillar (Actias luna) eclosing to their second or perhaps 3rd instar.

I would love to see iNaturalist incorporate the ability to upload videos and append them to creatures. Sometimes you need to see how an insect moves to really understand them. The serving and hosting could be an issue but it would be worth it. #caterpiller #moths #flutterby

A #Butterfly warms itself in the bright Springtime sun on my back porch.

(Apologies for the camera movements. My hand is not always steady.)

Common imperial blue / imperial hairstreak (Jalmenus evagoras) on today's first gardening job ... pretty widespread species in eastern Australia well known for its mutualistic relationship with Iridomyrmex ants.

Dear Friends and animus of #thanksgiving,

Let us give tanks
of #water
Let us not be Turkey
pros with hoes
Lettuce know No!
and deliver our #surplus
as we 4 #give those who #sign
with US

... talking of #harvest #festival/conference as it is known in #Olde England:
- burst our bubble ... and float Another Way
- eat well with less
- String like a Be, swim like a #flutterby

Are we the pain or du pain (viva)? As always I learn #Alternative #FAQS from #Open #Source Intelligence. Not only do we know #Nothing in this very #memory #brane (#membrane or #Quantum brane) but then again who does? In the words of #ShatGPT "#Wers me #salad?" Cod save the Queens and remember:

- If we can't join the dots, find a simpler #enigma wrapped in an #expression
- What we #know does not #hurtle
- Yesterday is a #song sung #tomorrow from #today

It's not often that these stay still long enough for me to take a photo. This one did, so here it is. #flutterby

There's a lot of other things to photograph in Bhutan but I find myself somewhat distracted by the butterflies:)

Went for a walk down the hill and saw some birds which was nice but strangely enough it was a shiny blue fly that won me over today. Loads of butterflies too. It's a treat to have time just to take a walk.

Also discovered today that the Sigma 60-600mm does a pretty neat job at macro, at the 200m mark.

"And thus, the plain piatercllar became a beautiful flutterby."

I think I just committed a crime against everything holy.

😬

(Yes, yes, flutterby is a common joke, but I've never seen piatercllar before.)
