#326 A gnome's house

2009-11-21T23:36:08Z

[Wild mushroom. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial] Since there is nothing more charming that to believe in fairy-tales, I was looking for awhile at this mushroom that appeared in the middle of the forest. I was hoping that its owner was appearing, but I suppose the gnome was too shy to let me see him the first time.

#325 Blue

2009-11-20T20:28:15Z

[Cupido Lorquinii - Lorquini's Blue. Abantos Mountain, El Escorial - Madrid] I can't understand why one of the meanings of blue is unhappy. What is wrong in the blue? Why it have to be sad?? Look at this butterfly... Blue is beautiful!

#324 The apple of my eye

2009-11-19T22:52:20Z

[Phylloscopus collybita - Common Chiffchaff. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] This is the second part of my post Fly Through Life. I don't like to post many photos together, so I saved some for today's post. And maybe I'm a bore... but I this little bird has became the apple of my eye, and that remind me another Dolores O'Riordan song. :)

#322 Fly Through Life

2009-11-17T19:17:53Z

[Phylloscopus collybita - Common Chiffchaff. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] Sometimes a moment makes us feel more alive than a whole life. My little encounter with this birdie lasted only a few minutes, but for me the time stoped and the dickey played with me, fluttering among the branches of a bush and attracting my attention with his melodic sing. Sometimes a magical experience makes us fly through life. :)

#321 Monday Flower: Anemone coronaria

2009-11-16T16:00:26Z

[Anemone coronaria - Anemone. Keukenhoff, Lisse - Holland] As I said last week, I didn't have any more flowers for Mondays... But this morning I realized I was wrong!! I have more than 300 pictures from Keukenhoff! LOL! This is one of my favourite flowers, even more when I find them in the wild.

#320 What's up!

2009-11-15T18:49:52Z

[Stenopogon Sabaudus - Robber fly. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] This is the damned killer. Though it doesn't seem, it's a fly. A murderous fly. When this horrible creature captures an insect (it usually is a butterfly), then she inserts her proboscis into the prey and injects a toxic chemical, paralyzing the prey. She flies towards a sure place, as a branch of a tree, loading with the prey (though this one is bigger than her). The robber fly then sucks out the inside of the prey body. Once she has ended, she quickly looks for a new victim. She lands on a bush or a rock, camouflaged, and waits for the suitable moment rubing her hands together. She turns around, staring at you, and says with her diabolical look... What's up!

#319 I'm not here

2009-11-14T15:39:25Z

[Carcharodus boeticus - Southern Marbled Skipper. El Tomillar Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] I've been thinking again about that old question: if a meteorite smashes in the middle of the desert and there are not a living being there... does it make any sound? If any scientist or physicist is reading this, please let me know it the sound really exists or is it in our heads when the vibrations arrives to the auditory system... And if nobody can see me... am I invisible? I believe that it was what this butterfly was thinking when I got closer to photograph her...

#318 For the next generation

2009-11-13T23:40:12Z

[Lampides boeticus - Long-tailed Blue. Peñalara - Madrid] This beautiful and small butterfly was looking for a good flower where to place her eggs, in the last sunny days... It's important to find a safe plant for the next generation.

#317 Close to me, come close to me

2009-11-12T16:21:23Z

[Sitta europaea - Wood Nuthatch. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] Some blue birds were looking for fruits and seeds in the ground of the forest, between some huge granite rocks. They picked up the food and flew to a tree to conceal it in the barck. They were doing the same route all the time, so we sat down on a nearby stone waiting for the birds to continue feeding... But they changed the plan and appeared behind us, in a branch just over our heads! We didn't have time to adjust the zoom... So we couldn't photograph the whole body... Pictures 1&2 are in real size, no cropped! This the last set of Nuthatchs. I think this is the best.
