The only active geyser we have is the one I showed pictures off, Strókkur. We used to have another big one named Geysir just few meters away from Strókkur, blowing at 100m, but it stopped some years ago.<br />These geothermal areas usually do not have any Geyser but just mud hole, really hot, and most of the time are fantastic to visit. We do have several places like that around Reykjavik too..Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-58535374182672794902010-08-29T12:17:31.640-06:002010-08-29T12:17:31.640-06:00Hi Wilma, it's lovely to be visiting again :) ...Hi Wilma, it's lovely to be visiting again :) What beautiful butterflies even with tails missing!

Funny how knowing that a species common in one's own area is rare or non-existent in someone else's area makes it easier to appreciate what you have! <br /><br />David -- the swallowtails are always special to see.<br /><br />Chris -- thank you. Something about the lighting for the buckeye makes it look almost velvety.<br /><br />John -- glad you like them. thanks for letting me know. :-)<br /><br />Chris P -- I know what you mean. Some of the key features for the butterflies are downright minute! But they are fascinating and beautiful.<br /><br />thanks to you all.<br /><br />cheers,<br />WilmaWilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-12969297089834617882010-08-23T15:54:20.216-06:002010-08-23T15:54:20.216-06:00Wonderful series - I am just beginning to learn my...Wonderful series - I am just beginning to learn my butterflies - it doesn't make sense to me, but I find them harder than birds.Chris Petrakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637163831402534158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-11601641852105187192010-08-23T13:44:11.837-06:002010-08-23T13:44:11.837-06:00Beautiful butterflies, especially the Common Bucke...Beautiful butterflies, especially the Common Buckeye.
