The second shot is not 4 bar, it is 8 bar All these photos are driving nuts with envy.

Those shots of you after the climb up bring back very painful memories! My feet have never been the same since! At least the Blue Begum turned up for me! Ha..ha...!

The climb also provided other interesting butts when I was there, such as an Allotinus corbeti, a Poritia sp. and an unknown lycaenid, poss Tajuria or a related sp., but it never stopped close enough for me to check.

Still waiting for the Blue Begum.

Something seems not right, I am missing the steep climb already!!



I believe most of the puddling shots will be repetitive, but they are simply so beautiful that I cannot resist posting them here. So bear with us for the repetitive posting.

After leopard crawling and pushing the camera and lens on the puddling ground for that elusive Spotted Sawtooth ...... someone was wandering why the legs of the butterfly in his viewfinder is always obscured. ......... he was using his lenshood as a shovel.
