“una mariposita
que del cielo bajó
con sus alas abiertas
y en el pico una flor”

Decent day for #butterflies today in the back meadow of Daley Ranch. I was able to capture 4 types of blues (here they are) despite my phone cam pulling out all the stops screwing with my photography. Eventually the device got too hot and I had to quit for the day.

Vanessa cardui (fam. Nymphalidae)

[ES] Ayer subí con mucha ilusión a la montaña palentina con la intención de fotografiar especies que no es posible encontrar en Cáceres y me encontré con que, para mi sorpresa, hacía mucho calor y, además, las mariposas no estaban nada colaborativas. No conseguí una foto decente en toda la mañana, pero me lo pasé muy bien persiguiendo bichos por los praos.

[EN] Yesterday I went to the mountains of Palencia. My aim was taking photos of species that are not present in Cáceres, but, surprisingly, the weather was so warm and the butterflies didn't want to pose for me even for a second. I didn't get a decent photo in the whole morning. But I had fun pursuing bugs in the grassfields.
