Beautiful Little Yellow 📷

(that's the actual name, not just a description lol)

One of the more challenging butterflies to photograph. They're small & extremely skittish. They prefer the tiny, weedy flowers in the lawn, which makes it difficult to get close without them fluttering away.

And they almost always perch on the underside of leaves or in thick foliage. Hard to get a good camera angle.

I spend ~ a lot ~ of time following them around, just waiting for an opportunity. 😂

Plant & butterfly info in alt-text.

Profile view of a Little Yellow butterfly feeding from an extremely tiny yellow flower in my weedy lawn. The butterfly has off-white colored wings with pale yellow around the edges. Markings include a scattering of small, faint brown patches and tiny black spots. I believe the flower is Creeping Cinderella Weed. It is a native groundcover plant with tiny yellow flowers that are approximately 5-10mm in size.
The same Little Yellow butterfly perched underneath a large tropical-looking leaf. It is hanging upside down. Sunlight through the wings illuminates a darker triangular patch at the tip of the forewings. This is due to black markings on the dorsal side of the wings. It's extremely rare to see these butterflies flap their wings, and I've only ever caught a photo of the dorsal side once. The foliage is a Spiral Ginger plant.

Some pictures from our dives with @slomo at the end of May. Rainbow wrasse liked photobombing me!

There are photobombs of a moray eel, a starfish, and a lobster, plus a bonus hermit crab inside a parasitic anemone.

A red hermit crab inside a yellow-brown-ish parasitic anemone. The hermit crab is looking towards the camera, looking a bit upset.
A lobster inside the hole of a rock, looking out with its antennas extending out of the hole. A small red-yellow rainbow wrasse is above the lobster, with its face in front of the right antenna.

The key to a good band picture is for each member to pensively look in a different direction.

Carbonero común (parus major).

Me hace mucha gracia el nombre en inglés, great tit, porque en sitios de fotos puede llevar a malentendidos (que es un pajaro, ¡guarro!) 😂.

Bueno, últimos detallitos variados del paseíllo por la zona de El Boalo en La Pedriza.

PD: A ver cuando volvemos a tener ánimo para dar un garbeo campestre.

PD2: Sospecho que el pajarete es una curruca carrasqueña.

Pues dudaba mucho de como había quedado una de las secuencias panorámicas y creo que el resultado es bastante satisfactorio (con un cabezal para panoramas homemade 😅).

Como segunda parte del hilo, recupero las dos fotillos de antes de la migración

Unas cabritillas montesas y un buitre leonado.

A swan on what looks like a collision course – taken as I was standing, apparently in a good spot for flying over, on a hill next to the lake it took off from. It was gaining altitude faster than it was closing the distance, so this didn't feel quite as perilous as it might appear!

Like this hummingbird, I can see the weekend from here, and it is bright and warm and shining with potential. Hope you have something awesome planned. My agenda is to read a thick book. What's yours?

This wee cuteness was captured in Tucson, Arizona, in September. #hummingbird #Wildlife #birds #NaturePhotography #nature
