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

Painted Lady
Just to see if I can post a picture!

Wahayyyyyyyy
First time lucky!
;D ;D ;D
Well Done !
but...
what's it called ? and when/where did you take the photo ?
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?
City Slicker, me....
Only Painted Ladies I know are long and green and living in my freezer :-[
Brill pix, all..- Lishka
They're in the red-light district in Amsterdam too, must be the urban variety.
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' Â :)
Ina ...your cat is brilliant!!...where did you find him?
- lepi WHAT? OK, I'll come quietly!! - Tim
Great pictures, but BB is that a Clerodenderon?
Sorry..John...but may I suggest a buddleja davidii ....commonly known as the butterfly bush :)
