Fragment to fragment clings, and thus they grow
Until we know and name them.
Then by degrees they change and are no more
The things we know.

Nice ones :)

The butterlfy reminds me of

I believe it is called Argynnis adippe or High Brown Fritillary. The underside of the wings was very similar at least.

Are you interested in butterflies Borek? Do you catch them?

This was taken last year, but that's exactly what I can see through my window right now (just no patches of snow yet). Feeder is in such a position, that I have to just slightly turn my head left when sitting at my desk/computer to see it. When chickadees come they engage my peripheral vision :)

hobobot: Nice one

Schrödinger: post your pictures on tinypic.com (or some other service, like imageshack) and then post them here using [ img][ /img] tags.

Took this one a few months ago on a particularly windy morning in Washington DC.  This is one of the many flags forming a ring around the Washington Monument.
