Saw a heap of Junonia today, some of them in a romantic mood. Slightly different markings at this spot in Trongsa compared to the Thimphu or Nobding shots I got the other week.Just adore these little gems.#Bhutan #Trongsa #Photography #Lumix #FlutterByes #Himalayas #Butterflies #Entomology #BugLife #JunoniaOrithya

Big day in Wangdue Phodrang Dzong on Friday. Locals turning up for special blessings and wearing their finest. Bhutanese know how to bling it up for the Buddha.#Bhutan #Wangdi #TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #HappyPlaces

Big crowd for the Tsechu in Bumthang this week. I love the way Bhutanese folk dress up in their finest, regardless of the weather or the muddy road they have to walk through to reach the gonpa!#Bhutan #Bumthang #Chams #Tsechu#TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #SummerInBhutan

All eyes are on the masked dancers. These are monks who train for years. They are incredibly strong, performing each cham for up to an hour, in bare feet.#Bhutan #Bumthang #Chams #Tsechu#TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #SummerInBhutan

One toot wasn't enough! This is a very special place. I've visited here maybe a dozen times and it's never the same twice.#Bhutan #Gangtey #Phobjikha #TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #HappyPlaces

This little guy was dead impressed with the masked dancers. While nobody was paying attention, he tried out a few moves of his own.#Bhutan #Bumthang #Chams #Tsechu#TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #SummerInBhutan

The music is a huge feature of these festivals too. There's a dedicated team of monks who just do percussion and horns. Then there's the novice monks who inject a little more random cheer into the event :)#Bhutan #Bumthang #Chams #Tsechu#TravelPhotography #Lumix #Photography #SummerInBhutan

Gonna try to get some clearer pics of this guy tomorrow. I saw a pair of them looping around that same patch of forest today, I think I can find them again tomorrow.Might be harder to get an ID than get a photo though. Crazy gorgeous stone-like lower wing, plus electric blue streaks on the upper.Nature is just unbelievably amazing.#Bhutan #Bumthang #Photography #Lumix #FlutterByes #Himalayas #Butterflies #WeirdBugsAreCoolBugs

Some days you just see the same species over and over, as though somebody cleaned your glasses and suddenly the things that were right in front of you are clear to see.#Bhutan #Bumthang #Photography #Lumix #FlutterByes #Himalayas #Butterflies #CommonCopper #Lycaena

At first I thought they only liked yellow flowers but then... plot twist! Copper on purple. Bhutan style.#Bhutan #Bumthang #Photography #Lumix #FlutterByes #Himalayas #Butterflies #CommonCopper #Lycaena

These guys have been our constant companions while staying in this patch of forest near Paro. Rain or sunshine, they are flitting about and adding a touch of joy to the landscape.I wish I'd spent a little more time capturing them now. Instead, I let the fancy ones distract me too often! I have the same problem with donuts.#Bhutan #Paro #Photography #Lumix #FlutterByes #Himalayas #Butterflies #Ypthima #NotADonut

@Curiosa2BlueThe luxury of a few minutes with a song, while shutting out the rest of the planet.

I'm back home now after a month in Bhutan. Still have a few terabytes of pix and vids to crunch. Feeling a little "all at sea", with my head still stuck somewhere between the Himalayas and home.#Bhutan #Photography #GreenScene #Lumix #LittleThingsMatter #LightAndLeaves #FrondsAsFriends

Can a fly on a leaf be art? I think so, I think it can. Just needs the right presentation.#Bhutan #Photography #GreenScene #Lumix #LittleThingsMatter #LightAndLeaves #FliesAsFriends

I have no idea what kind of fly this is. Maybe he was on his way home from refereeing a basketball match.You tell me.

Brain is overflowing a bit this week. Information overload. I was very reticent to step from stills photography into video, because it's a huge learning curve. I was right!I gave myself a few years to get familiar with video. Codecs. Recording modes. Frame rates. Log gamma. NLEs. Editing is such a huge work load. Rendering is a nightmare.But then there's audio. Which is even more important than video. Ouch. Bad video and good audio is watchable. The reverse is not.

I'm so lucky to have Shellie in my life. Inconceivably lucky.She spent the weekend cooking batches of hearty meals, popped them into freezer containers, and today we drove across town to deliver them to my buddy.He's going through chemotherapy and has another round starting in a few days. We wanted them to have a stock of ready meals for those days when they haven't got the mojo to cook. Good meals. Nourishing meals. Shellie did that, and I've never loved somebody more in my whole life.
