This t-shirt is another in my line of cards, prints, and clothing geared towards bringing increased awareness to the plight faced by the world’s flora and fauna. this t-shirt, based upon my series of frog, toad, and salamander photographs, depicts the green treefrog, common or Eastern toad, and spotted salamander. They have all been treated with a watercolor filter in photoshop for added depth and detail. The quote on the bottom of the shirt reads: “In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.” ~Baba Dioum, Senegalese ecologist. Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society

This is a depiction of a very common Texas butterfly….the Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly (Phoebis sennae) and this particular one is a male… These butterflies are everywhere during the late spring, summer, and early fall around my house. I have been trying to find the perfect portrait of this yellow beauty…and I dont know if I found the “perfect” one…but I did finally take one that I am satisfied with. Normally these butterflies are very timid and skittish and wont stay still for too long…especially when a human with a really large shadow comes their way. Today however it started to cool off….which worked in my favor..because all of these little guys were moving slow and just sitting in the sunshine eating and warming up….which gave me a great opportunity to take as many pictures as they would sit still for… Thank you Suni

A Sago Palm is not a particularly pleasant plant to look at, but the spring fronds when shot with a macro take you into a magical world.

Common Buckeye ~ Junonia coenia Hübner, [1822] enjoying a Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) Canon EOS 30D SLR Family: Brush-footed Butterflies (Nymphalidae) Subfamily: True Brushfoots (Nymphalinae) Identification: Upperside is brown. Forewing with 2 orange cell bars and 2 eyespots; part of white subapical band appears in the largest, lower eyespot. Hindwing has 2 eyespots; upper one is largest and contains a magenta crescent. Underside of hindwing is brown or tan in the wet season (summer) form and rose-red in the dry season (fall) form. Life history: Males perch during the day on low plants or bare ground to watch for females, flying periodically to patrol or to chase other flying insects. Females lay eggs singly on leaf buds or on upperside of host plant leaves. Caterpillars are solitary and eat leaves. Caterpillars and adults overwinter but only in the south. Flight: Two to three broods from May-October, throughout the year in the Deep South. Wing span: 1 5/8 – 2 3/4 inches (4.2 – 7 cm). Caterpillar hosts: Plants from the snapdragon family including snapdragon (Antirrhinum) and toadflax (Linaria); the plantain family including plantains (Plantago); and the acanthus family including ruellia (Ruellia nodiflora). Adult food: Favorite nectar sources are composites including aster, chickory, gumweed, knapweed, and tickseed sunflower. Dogbane, peppermint, and other flowers are also visited. Habitat: Open, sunny areas with low vegetation and some bare ground. Range: Resident in the southern United States and north along the coasts to central California and North Carolina; south to Bermuda, Cuba, Isle of Pines, and southern Mexico. Adults from the south’s first brood migrate north in late spring and summer to temporarily colonize most of the United States and parts of southern Canada. Comments: The eyespots may be used to scare away predators. Conservation: Not required. NatureServe Global Status: G5 – Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.

Deep in the Weald, three trees line the path, paying little heed to the walkers passing by. /

This is a shot taken in Spring of the bluebells that carpet the floor of the Weald. I remember playing In and Out the Dusty Bluebells as a child at school. I wonder if it is still played anywhere today? In and out the dusty bluebells: All but one of the children stand in a circle, hold hands, and then lift them up into arches. The remaining child weaves in and out of the arches to the tune of In and out the dusty bluebells, In and out the dusty bluebells, In and out the dusty bluebells, Who shall be my partner? The child then stops and stands behind one of the other children in the circle. While they all sing the chorus, the child behind taps on the child’s shoulder in front. Tippy tippy tappy on your shoulder, Tippy tippy tappy on your shoulder. Tippy Tippy tappy on your shoulder, You shall be my partner. The child behind then gets hold of the second child’s waist, and they weave through the arches together, with the remaining children cloing up the circle. Thetwo then pick a third child at the chorus, and so on, with the line getting longer and longer until the last two in the circle foorma an arch, one gets chosen as the last partner and the last child starts a new game in the middle. How simple life was then.

Male Common Blue Butterfly, Polyommatus icarus. Devon, UK Wingspan up to 35mms, found throughout the UK between May to October the caterpillars feed on bird’s-foot trefoil and it can often be seen in meadows, rough grassland and gardens. On sunny days you can sometimes find these butterflies feeding together in small colonies. It’s the most commonly seen of all the blue butterflies. The bright blue male is unmistakable, but the female is darker, and can have varying amounts of brown on the wings. In southern England there can be two broods each year. The first will be on the wing from May to June, while the second emerges from late July to September. Further north there is normally only one brood appearing between July and August. The green caterpillars are about 10mms long, quite flattened in appearance, and have a shiny black head.

The Lauder Cornet bears the standard over Lauder Common. / The common ridings in the Borders are a must for tourists. Most Border towns have a festival to celebrate the history and traditions of the community. These events are steeped in history and strengthen the bond between the locals and the town. Pride and history all tied up with a great spectacle, community spirit and a friendly welcome. In this picture, the Cornet, at the head of some 300 riders, is off to the Waterin Stane to lead the town in the singing of Jeannie’s black e’e. the words written by Hector MacNeill (1746-1818). The sun rose sae rosy, the grey hills adorning, / Light sprang the lav’rock and mounted sae hie, / When true to the tryst o’ blythe May’s dewy morning, / Jeannie cam’ linkin’ out ow’r the green lea’. / Tae mark her impatience, I crep’ ‘mang the brackens, / Aft, aft tae the kent gate she turn’d her black e’e; / Then lying doon sae dowilie, sigh’d by the willow tree, / “I am aslep, dinna wauken me”. Saft thro’ the green birks I stole to my jewel, / Strek’d on spring’s carpet aneath the saugh tree, / “think na, dear Lassie, that Willie’s been cruel,” / “I am asleep, dinna wauken me”. / “Wi love’s warm sensations I’ve marked your impatience, / Lang hid midst the breckans I watch’d your black e’e; / You’re no sleepin, pawkie Jean, open that lovely e’e”. / “I am asleep, dinna wauken me”.

This brilliant, delicate little wildflower, no bigger than an Aussie 50c piece is a very fine example of Thysanotus tuberosus (Common Fringe Lily). Found and photographed in gorgeous light in a tiny clearing beside a track at Diamond Head, part of Crowdy Bay National Park, Laurieton, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on a fine spring morning. In this area the flowers grow in thick native grasses and throwing out the background was very difficult. The only way I could do it was to fit the +10dioptre screw-on Macro Lens to the camera, set the camera to Super Macro Mode and get in as close as I physically and optically could using Manual Focus. I feel the sharp angles of the blurred blades of grass in the background support the hard angles of the thinner petals of the flower. Fuji S9600: RAW, f/3.4 @ 1/120sec, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Aussie Wildflowers collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more luscious native Lily delights. UPDATE: / 27-10-08 / This fragile fringed floral delight has been featured in the Australian Native Plants Group .

This little finch found a place of safety on the bannister under my front porch during a chilly, rainy day. In fact, if you View Larger, you can detect a few raindrops on her tiny noggin. With her feathers all fluffed up, she looked cute and cozy and a bit plump so I called her Roly Poly. Maybe, like many of us, she’s thinking, “Got to shed some of that extra baggage in the upcoming New Year.” Oh, and one more thing, don’t you just love those tiny talons peeking out from her feathers? Looks like she’s just had a pedicure and she’s showing off her dainty toes!

Common Redpoll (male) on a spruce branch during a moment of late sun (in his warm coat of feathers). Carduelis Flammea. Among the smallest of Alaska’s birds at between 5 and 5.5 inches in length, redpolls are sparrowlike in appearance, with red splotches or caps on their heads and small black bibs. Males also sport pinkish breasts. They can endure the extreme cold of Alaskan winters partly because of a specially adapted seed-storage system: While feeding, they stockpile some seeds in an esophageal pouch, or crop, a feature shared with other finches. Through the nights, which in winter may last 20 hours or more, redpolls eat and gradually digest the seeds stored in their pouches. The birds also have dense winter plumage they fluff for added insulation. Their core body temperature remains about 105 degrees, even when the air temperature drops as low as 58 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. So these tiny creatures can maintain a temperature 163 degrees warmer than the air. Says animal physiologist Pierre DeViche of Arizona State University, who has conducted arctic research, “Think if you could make a coat with that sort of insulative ability. It’s incredible, really.” A group of redpolls is collectively known as a “gallup” of redpolls. (from identifywhat.bird.com) Featured in Wildlife-Appeal – Thank you!
