Good morning from Greece!
Ophrys lucis, our orchid of light.
A popular one on the exclusive @greenwingstours.bsky.social tour too, which I designed & launched way back in 2013.

Goodnight from Greece!
Orchid of the moment here is Spiranthes spiralis.
Orchids of spring are a whole different story, and a fantastic one at that! Join me & friends to share it, on the original & ultimate Orchid Odyssey tour.

Was going to bin this shot, but something made me keep it & now I kind of like it for the movement and tones overall.

For those who don't like spiders (see last post) here's something 'cuter'. A delightful Crimson Speckled (Utetheisa pulchella) that I saw yesterday morning.
For photographers, this is a fairly big crop from a shot that was taken at 400mm with my trusty Canon 100-400 lens. So, not a macro shot.

Banded Garden Spider (Argiope trifasciata).
This species native range is the Americas, but it has been introduced to many places worldwide, and now it has found my Greek island too. First records were 2023.
