Another excellent set! Perspectives are always bang on. Exposures, colours are handled well.

Hi Only RF,

Cheers for those kind words - very much appreciated!

I photographed the first Monarch butterfly of the season in Rhode Island last week. As we walked with my wife, this tired one was on the pavement and trying to lift itself up with no success. I extended my hand and it climbed on it, and I placed it on the grass. It was probably a little more comfortable.

A beautiful creature - well seen and caught (and saved!).

Thank you for sharing... :)

It has been a scorcher this summer and wildlife has been a bit hunkered down because of the heat. I did go out to photograph fireworks a few miles from my home on July 4th in old town Manassas at the Railway Station. It was the first time I watched the fireworks at this location.

The Lancaster was in our city. My wife noticed it in the sky today so I went to the airport and they were refuelling it at the private jet area. It moved but didn't take off as it was headed to the plane museum for a show. I had to shoot through a fence. Firing up the engines was cool. We are just watched episode 3 of Masters of the Air on Apple TV but those were Fortresses.

Well, we're back! A fun trip had, with over 8,500 raw files (and another 650+ iPhone images) to chew through - a number may appear here in due course.

In the meantime, with our thanks for all contributions in our absence - some images from a recent-ish visit to Paignton Zoo, Paignton, Devon, England.

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Photo AI).
