This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: None Alive Animals prompt.
As is sometimes the case I had a few ideas for the prompt before changing my theme for the post when I started selecting photos.
I changed my theme after coming across a photo of one of the giant butterfly garden ornaments I sometimes pass on my walks around the neighborhood. There are three of them and I have photographed them many times over the past few years with a variety of cameras and lenses.

This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Sunshine Yellow.
I decided that sunrise and sunset images were too obvious so went looking for the unusual. Then I decided to go with photos taken on my various walks around the neighborhood.
A yellow cap on a plywood figure on the South Bruce Peninsula. Unusual because most of these plywood figures have cowboy hats.

Two yellow Lady’s Slipper Orchids on the South Bruce Peninsula. A photo from 6 years ago when there was still lots of these Orchids growing wild around the neighborhood. I haven’t seen any for a couple of years. I suspect that they’ve all been dug up and planted in people’s gardens.
My Macro Monday post this week is a Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus), a butterfly species found in Europe. An alternative common English name is Hedge Brown.
The darker patches in the center of the forewing show this is a male. The butterfly is resting on a Bramble leaf in Faddiley near Nantwich in southern Cheshire, England.

This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Walkabout.
A few photos from some of my walks around the neighborhood over the past few weeks.
Some interesting tree bark with Cedar trees and blue sky providing blocks of colour in the background.
Paper Birch trees against a blue sky with some nice wispy clouds.
Colourful green moss and orange Lichen growing on a boulder.

This week’s Monochrome Monday is from a walk around the neighborhood a few days ago.
Given how blue the skies have been recently I thought a monochrome conversion darkening the sky would be interesting. Plus a spot of colour from the giant red butterfly garden ornament I frequently walk past would add to the spot colour trend I have been on recently.
