Today I post an old picture from last summer, because I am unable to take new pictures for a long moment. Two weeks ago I had to go to the hospital, where they kept me for more than one week. Now I am back home, but I am barely able to walk from my bedroom to the living room. The doctors say I will need a very long time to heal completely. So for the moment I am locked inside. I see all the birds and the butteflies outside, but I cannot go out to get pictures. I see the beautiful weather outside,but all I can do is dream about walking in the meadows or in the forest. So I am sitting on my computer or reading, all day long - a bit boring but there is nothin I can do about it.

Fortunately, I have lots of old pictures which I can post now ! :-)

This is a picture from a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) which rested in my garden for some hours in the summer 2006, juste before a big thunderstorm.

Here is another picture from him, as well as some infos on the species :

What I really like with these butterflies is that they are never afraid - this one often stays in a tree, along with a colony of huge hornets. As soon as one of them comes close, he is chasing him away - so proud and srong. No wonder his wings are damaged !

Hi Valerie,
I am sorry to know about your illness and pray that you get well soon. I did missed you here on TN.
This is a wonderful shot of this beautiful butterfly. Very sharp image with nice colours and spot-on focus to portray this superb pose. It stands out well against the BG and your light management is great. Excellent POV and a precise DOF here. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Valerie!
Good to communicate with you after a rather long gap of time through your lovely picture of this exotic butterfly.
Amazing sharpness, exquisite details of patterns on the underside of the wing and lovely colours.
Thanks for sharing this delightful image.
Ram

Bonsoir Valerie
Une merveilleuse photo que ce Joli papillon,Très belle composition, les couleurs et le cadrage et les détails sont tous très bons.

Bravo et merci...JP

Oh, je suis pênée de constater que tu as des problèmes de santé. J'espère que ce n'est pas trop grave...

J'adore cette pose typique tu as capturée et les détails sont excellents! J'aurais eu tendance à essayer d'ajuster un peu les niveaux mais c'est une question de goût très personnel.

La fleur est aussi superbe et détaillée, je crois que c'est une fleur de chicorée. Très réussis!

Hi Valerie.
Now I have a short opportunity to visit TN and I am impressed with your nice, coloirfull picture. I like the perfect reproduction of all details of the flower and wonderful butterfly, excellent blurred a bit pictorial BG. Exposure and contrast of the image are great as well as your impressive POV and exact DOF. My best wishes and TFS.
