Looking Close... on Friday: Tip

 

On tonight's episode of "Cats Are Perfect": the ear! This delicate, soft little ear possesses 32 muscles (we poor humans only have 6) and allows cats to keep their balance, move their ears 180°, and of course hear 5 times better than us. It never ceases to amaze me how these little killing machines with superfeline powers can be so graceful, elegant, beautiful... and so, so cute! (Incidentally, the cuteness is... not incidental. They share baby-like features with lots of baby animals, which makes us subconsciously attracted to them. But these devious little monsters have also managed to tune their purring to a human baby's cries, triggering our instinct to protect, help... and smooch. We are being totally manipulated. And we love that.)

CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.

 

Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

Looking close...on Friday!:-)

The subject is tip . . .

When in the country I use to find antlers that had been shed, trick is to beat the field mice to the prize. That is my tip of the day on getting antler tips.

RSPB Baron's Haugh, Motherwell...have learned its best not to photograph these in bright sunshine!

Weekly challenge for Looking close on Friday!

Took this on a rainy/ cloudy day, so its more dull than I wanted but Im still glad I got a shot of one : )

Anthocharis cardamines (OrangeTip) is a small butterfly belonging to the Pieridae family. They emerge in early April. The males can be easily recognized by the orange tips of their wings which the females don't possess. They can be found throughout Europe and temperate Asia as far as China.

Tips of clouds lit up. They were totally gone as soon as the sun set!

 

This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.
