Most times I just have one photo per word for Lost in Translations Pick a Word. This time I have a few more for the September Pick a Word and perhaps using my artistic licence for the matching photo.
Vantage
The view from Raspberry Lookout. My property is a few hills over on the left.
In order to get a good take off, you must have a good vantage point.
Bifurcated
You can’t fence me in
Intruding
Sometimes I feel like I am intruding when photographing butterflies and spiders.
Three’s a crowd when the males chase the female Orchard Butterfly.
Two Line-blue Butterflies getting “friendly”
Yes, the Huntsman Spiders were in the dining room but I don’t think they had eating dinner on their mind.
Jagged
Once a butterfly gets old, the jagged wings are the first sign of age as on this Australian Gull Butterfly
Quayside
The yachts moored late in the afternoon after sailing from Grafton to Ulmarra.
Quayside on the Great Canal, Venice
You live in a lovely part of the world. The Clarence gives such a different quayside to Venice. (I love that part of the river). You had me smiling with your intrusion. Great post.

I am trying to figure out how to reach your property from this end 😀 ;). Venetian quayside – that’s better than Croatia. Some of your intrusive friends and forking trees made me scared. Great and fun entry, Brian!

It is a special place to live. The Raspberry Lookout is about 50kms up the mountain. I just had to photograph that tree. Never seen anything like it 🙂

glad I saw them on the bigger screen. wonderful – and the details in the spider creeped me out, but also appreciate their beauty.
my fav of this post – on first mobile view and after coming back – well the second one for vantage.
the angle of the wings and the green and the space throughout – the light and the eyes are looking right at us saying, “Sup Bushboy?”

That butterfly photo is one of favourites too. I love my spiders who help me keep the house almost insect free 😀
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes – insect free is so good. When I was up north last October I stayed in a “newly put in” basement bedroom and the homeowner apologized for the spiders – I said no worries with me… and also told her that I had just read the presence spiders is also an indication of a non-toxic (or less toxic) environment – and I cannot recall
Where I read it – ?

As long as you can recognise the spider that can be venomous. My big Huntsman spiders are harmless but will bite if annoyed. 😀😀

An interesting selection of photos. Your view reminds me of Dorrigo. I guess it’s the same mountain range. The close of the spiders was pretty creepy!

Yes it does remind of Dorrigo just about 100kms north west. Thanks for your comment Suzanne 😀
