This site has had some beautiful pictures, I think I will just retire now and spend the next few years learning how to take better photos.
Have spent all Summer trying to get close enougbh to the Woodpecker to get a decent shot, but it is very shy. And I have only got a point and click camera no telephoto lenses or such like so I will have to get close. Ah well.
As a family that shouts mint sauce at every lamb we see I reckon your Shawn, Diane, did well to get to even that size.
Do you say Horseradish sauce to the cows though?

Painted what - BB?? Must be different in Holland! - Tim

Hugh_Jones · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2003, 19:38:53 »

Perhaps the dutch Painted Ladies are a bit butch, Tim, or the Peac*cks are a bit effeminate.

P.S. You should have seen what the Board Censor did to my first attempt. Peathingies indeed!

Oops thanks for the corrections (I've corrected it now) what's a painted lady then - another name for a red admiral or is it a completely different flutterby ?

MagpieDi · « **Reply #9 on:** November 24, 2003, 17:32:23 »

Hi BB...Here's one I took earlier!! ( I wish!! ) ;D

Painted Lady

Clivia · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2003, 20:57:56 »

Just to see if I can post a picture!

Clivia · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2003, 21:00:24 »

Wahayyyyyyyy

First time lucky!

;D ;D ;D

Beer_Belly · « **Reply #12 on:** November 25, 2003, 21:03:19 »

Well Done !

but...

what's it called ? and when/where did you take the photo ?

Clivia · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2003, 21:14:57 »

OOOoo, and there I was, all excited! ;D

Its called a butterfly ( :P ), and I took it in August on the nicotiana growing on my allotment. If you look really carefully you can see the bad infestation of greenfly I didn't know I had until I took this picture. :-/ (I really should wear my glasses more!)

- tried to reply last night, BB, but had a semi-crash.

Can't see MD's picture so here's my idea of a Painted Lady - Tim

Can now see your's, MD - looks mighty like a a Red Admiral to me?

They're in the red-light district in Amsterdam too, must be the urban variety.

MagpieDi · « **Reply #17 on:** November 26, 2003, 14:17:01 »

Hi Tim
I'm no expert on Lepidoptera, but ........my pic is possibly a male painted lady ??? and yours is a female...naturally!! ;)

Clivia.......your little beauty is a 'speckled wood' :)

Ina ...your cat is brilliant!!...where did you find him?

tim · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2003, 20:53:34 »
