Another splash of colour - one of the sunflowers around the edge of a local farmers field  Yony |

My "Today's" photos are a wild gaillardia and a pileus cloud on top of a building cumulus cloud. (Wicked hail storms last night not far from here. I love storms, but hate it when damage happens ... always feel bad for those affected.) Both photos taken near the summer place in SW Alberta.   |

Thank you for the nice comments. If you look to the left of that little island you will see a boat in the water. My thought at the time was to try to get the boat heading home. Because of the slow shutter speed the boat is a blur but the shutter was open just long enough to capture the lightning just before closing.

I'll go for butterflies today and took the long lens for a visit to a patch of milkweed in a local park hoping to find monarchs and despite being a windy spot there were a few - here's one:  There were a lot more of these butterflies - I'm no expert but I think it's probably a Great Spangled Fritillary  Tony |

Headed to a near-by town for today's picture. You can find out more about this sculpture here, if interested. Thinking this looks better in B/W than color......   I know we said that we would limit our post to two images but thought seeing the original wires might be worth showing. Oh and the wires were a bit of a pain but thought it was worth the effort.  |

Pristine butterflies, Tony. Sadly I often see them with damaged wings.

In the past they have used scaffolding....these guys just used the ropes and huge suction-like "thingies". Quite amazing to watch them....and very loud when they slammed those suction things onto your window!
