At first, I thought this Question Mark Butterfly was a dead leaf. Then it started moving along the old deck railing. It is very well disguised or camouflaged as a dead leaf although more so for in the fall, not the spring when most leaves are green. If you look closely, you can see the tiny white question mark on the back wing.

Noctilucent Clouds viewed from my cabin on the MV Explorer while traveling from Stockholm to Copenhagen while crossing the Baltic Sea. Noctilucent clouds are high-altitude clouds that appear as glowing blue or silver streaks in the night sky, typically visible during summer months at high latitudes (or winter months in the southern hemisphere). They are tiny ice crystals illuminated by the sun below the horizon and only visible from the ground during astronomical twilight.
More images of Noctilucent Clouds are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.

Sailboat passing in front of the setting sun viewed from the deck of the MV Explorer on the Baltic Sea. For several voyages we have been having a contest to capture images of ships passing in front of the rising or setting sun while at sea.

Composite image of the fireflies flashing in my backyard. The composite was created from 564 images taken with a Fuji X-H1 camera and 56 mm f/1.2 lens (ISO 3200, 56 mm, f/8. 30 sec). The raw images were processed with Capture One Pro and the composite generated using Photoshop CC (statistics, maximum). I use the same method to create star trails.

A Little Planet View of my backyard. The image is a composite of 37 images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and Bower 8 mm fisheye lens and then processed with AutoPano Giga Pro. AutoPano Giga is no longer available/supported so I now use PTGui Pro to create little planet images. The two Sycamore trees no longer exist, the deck was replaced with a patio, and there are now solar panels on the roof of the house. Much of the backyard grass has been converted to a wildflower meadow.
