Private Flight Show

The pilot of this coast guard helicopter waved to me out of his side window while I was taking dozends of snapshots from his show flight along the coastline.
Nice guy.

At the border between Life and Death

Found this poor Admiral's butterfly almost dead.
Placed him in a wind-shaded wild rose bush.
Will pass by soon.
Time well spent.

A Camel's Meditation

The camel has a single hump,
The dromedary, two.
Or else the other way around.
I'm never sure. Are you?
("The Camel" by O.Nash)

Exotic garden

Leaves of Canna.

Tree Flaking

Not only snakes peel off their skin.
This is a piece of pine "skin" which I found laying in the grass.
It was so wafer-thin that the sun could shine through it.
If you click to enlarge you might see the tiny black cicada balancing on top of the blade.

Get dressed

Snakeskin.
