Three photos today, all linked by the colour red (or perhaps, orange).

First, a red admiral butterfly.

Next, a red crow. This was taken as the sun was very low in the sky, hence the unusual cast of colour across its wing and beak.

Finally, a red sky…

  1. :up: Beautiful sunset and nice hue on the crow. That butterfly looks a bit worse for wear!

  2. Darko, and you trust wikipedia? 😉

  3. Adele, thanks! The butterfly was a bit tatty but I guess it's late season for them. The light on the crow was a bonus. I took a sequence and it only shows on a couple of them when the angle was right.

  4. Erwin, thanks!

  5. Lovely shots! Poor butterfly!

  6. Red is popular these days :coffee:

  7. 😆

  8. I recall there once was those search toolbars where one could quickly 'search in page' and show all instances of search words. I wonder if there is such thing available for Opera :sherlock:

  9. Lois, I'm always amazed at how battered butterflies can become and yet they can still fly perfectly well.

  10. Sami, Opera highlights all the matching phrases but I guess that's not what you mean.

  11. Sami, well spotted 😉

    Hmm… How does that work? If I use search field on toolbar, then at least I don't see there a tool highlight those words on document currently open.

  13. I just hit the "full stop" key which opens the search box and then type a word. Opera highlights the first one on the page in green. All the rest on the page are highlighted in yellow. I use F3 to jump through them. I don't think I've tweaked anything to get this!

  14. our goldfinches up over here in Michigan don't have red heads, but black there instead and a bit more yellows and browns and such a sweet song!!!! alas, my birdfeeder was left at the other house we had to move out of near 3 years ago. boo hoo!

    :doh: The good old 'find in page search' :up: But that requires I have to write the key words again for example after Google search.

    Anyway, enough off-topic at least from my behalf, sorry about that 😮

    Since I have not said it yet, I especially like that crow picture :happy:

  16. yes, wow that crow caught the light just right – we usually see the blues refracted off their feathers.

  17. Kathy, it's so confusing with bird names. Your goldfinches are much more gold in colour, and slightly thicker set. Our robins are also completely different to yours, though both are cute birds. I was watching to see if the sun would catch the crow. It just caught the light for a moment.

  18. you are right, your robins ARE little small roundish wrenish things and ours much bigger. weird how the names seem same. If you are patient, you MAKE the picture, you don't just take the picture. that shows you as a true artist!

  19. Beautiful play with the light
