Love Is Like A Butterfly
Lurking Egret
Some of the butterfly shots were actually taken by Evretou Reservoir. While we were there, Alex wanted to get some shots of the local bird population. She stalked this egret for a while.
What's That?
Alex also snapped the egret as it flew off. But what's that in the water next to it?
Something Fishy
She managed to get a picture of a fish leaping out of the water to get an insect! How cool is that?
More Butterflies
Another variety of butterfly.
Moth?
Or is it a moth? What is the difference between a butterfly and a moth, other than their beauty?
Well, according to sciencebob.com (?) these are the differences:
Butterflies usually rest with their wings closed, while moths rest with their wings open. Butterflies have long, thin antenna, while moths have shorter feathery antennas. Butterflies generally gather food during the day while moths are seen more at nighttime.
So this is definitely a butterfly.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
