#331 Eye shadow

2009-11-26T18:58:55Z

[Euchloe (Euchloe) belemia - Green-striped White. El Regajal, Aranjuez] All butterflies have something special. Maybe this one is not the most eye-catching butterfly, but the fluffy body and the yellow eye shadow make it really fashionable.

Röyksopp - What Else Is There? At least I have my tickets for The Cranberries. When I went to Fnac and bought them, I realized that they are not as beautiful as they used to be. I love to collet all the show's tickes (there are some few in the picture)... but now it's not the same. Why the tickes are now printed in black and white? Maybe it's to avoid they're forged. Or is just to reduce costs? 40° 23′ 10″ N, 3° 44′ 20″ W

#329 Memento

2009-11-24T23:02:19Z

[Platanus acerifolia or Platanus acerifolia - London Plane tree. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] In Madrid, Autumn lasts only a few weeks. Though our calendar is like any other, the truth is that the weather here makes the leaves of the trees fall down rapidly and we enter without previous notice to the harsh winter. Last weekend I had the opportunity to walk along a golden, red, ocher, orange, yellow forest... But I know that the next one, everything will have changed, the branches will be empty and a carpet of dry leaves will rest over the paths. Then, I only will have this memento.

#328 Monday Flower: Iris Hollandica

[Iris Hollandica - Dutch Iris. Keukenhof, Lisse - Holland] I adore these flowers, with petals as feathers. Beauty speaks by itself.

#327 What a MANDALA is?

2009-11-22T18:58:20Z

Our Sunday Gallery goes on tour! This week we propose you to draw your own mandala for the next gallery, tha will be posted here on Sunday, 6th December. But... What a MANDALA is? Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". More concretly "sacred circle". In some ancient cultures, mandalas are made to connect with divinities and to represent the universe. Besides, mandalas are useful to meditate, concentrate, to open our minds and to enjoy. A mandala is a drawing arranged inside a circle. What do you need to make your own mandala? You need a compass to draw the circle. The rest is up to you! Use your imagination. Draw your mandala and colour it as you like... And remember that you can draw whatever you want inside the circle. It can be a geometric drawing, or three-dimensional or with the shapes and details that you prefer. And if you are not very inspired, you can download a mandala ready to be coloured here: www.mandamagos.com, by courtesy of LysMandala. You can send your mandalas to ted.barlow@hotmail.co.uk or to nunuinpictures@gmail.com. I'll be waiting your contributions!

#326 A gnome's house

2009-11-21T23:36:08Z

[Coprinus picaceus. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial] [Thanks for ID Juan and Ricky!] Since there is nothing more charming that to believe in fairy-tales, I was looking for awhile at this mushroom that appeared in the middle of the forest. I was hoping that its owner was appearing, but I suppose the gnome was too shy to let me see him the first time.

#325 Blue happiness

2009-11-20T20:28:15Z

[Cupido Lorquinii - Lorquini's Blue. Abantos Mountain, El Escorial - Madrid] I can't understand why one of the meanings of blue is unhappy. What is wrong in the blue? Why it have to be sad?? Look at this butterfly... Blue is beautiful!

#324 The apple of my eye

2009-11-19T22:52:20Z

[Phylloscopus collybita - Common Chiffchaff. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] This is the second part of my post Fly Through Life. I don't like to post many photos together, so I saved some for today's post. And maybe I'm a bore... but I this little bird has became the apple of my eye, and that remind me another Dolores O'Riordan song. :)

#322 Fly Through Life

2009-11-17T19:17:53Z

[Phylloscopus collybita - Common Chiffchaff. La Herrería Forest, El Escorial - Madrid] Sometimes a moment makes us feel more alive than a whole life. My little encounter with this birdie lasted only a few minutes, but for me the time stoped and the dickey played with me, fluttering among the branches of a bush and attracting my attention with his melodic sing. Sometimes a magical experience makes us fly through life. :)
