These pretty little butterflies are easy to spot as the males’ wings have bright orange tips – giving them their name! They are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. The adults lay their eggs on special plants to ensure that their caterpillars have the right food to eat. Orange-tip caterpillars love garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable: a white butterfly, half of its forewing is a bold orange, and it has light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.
One from the archives for the Looking Close on Friday theme of tip. I have no idea what the plant is!
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.

Common though not so abundant this year.

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.
El aristócrata Tocqueville, al observar la democracia de los Estados Unidos y de su burguesa Francia natal, hace siglo y medio, tuvo la premonición de que la libertad en el mundo moderno se enfrentaría a peligros desconocidos hasta entonces. “No temo que encuentren tiranos entre sus gobernantes”, escribió de las generaciones futuras, “sino más bien guardianes”, Tales “guardianes” privarán a los pueblos de su libertad al satisfacer sus deseos y explotar después la dependencia engendrada por su generosidad. Vaticinó un tipo de despotismo democrático en el que “una multitud de hombres; todos idénticos e iguales” lucharían incesantemente por alcanzar “los mezquinos y despreciables placeres con que atiborran sus vidas”. El gobierno paternalista benevolente (el moderno Estado de bienestar social) se cierne sobre ellos:
Este gobierno trabaja de buena voluntad por su felicidad, pero decide ser el árbitro exclusivo de esas felicidad; les garantiza su seguridad, prevé y compensa sus necesidades, facilita sus placeres, gestiona sus principales preocupaciones, dirige su actividad, regula la dejación de propiedades y subdivide sus herencias: ¿qué queda sino librarlos de todo el trabajo de pensar y de todas las dificultades de la vida?
El “principio de la igualdad ha preparado a los hombres para todas estas cosas “y a menudo para que las consideren como beneficios.
Después de tener a cada miembro en su puño de hierro, y moldearlo a su voluntad, el poder supremo extiende sus brazos sobre toda la comunidad. Cubre la superficie de la sociedad con una red de regulaciones pequeñas y complicadas, diminutas y uniformes, que ni las mentes más originales ni los individuos más enérgicos pueden desentrañar, para alzarse sobre los demás. La voluntad del hombre no se quiebra, sino que se reblandece, se somete y guía; apenas se obliga a los hombres a actuar por su voluntad, pero constantemente se les restringe su actuación: un poder semejante no destruye, sino que impide la existencia; no tiraniza, pero comprime, exaspera, extingue y atonta al pueblo, hasta que cada nación queda reducida a tan sólo un rebaño de tímidos e industriosos animales, cuyo pastor es el gobierno (La democracia en América, Alexis de Tocqueville).
¿Esto es lo que queremos?
(Propiedad y libertad) Richard Pipes
Waar in de eerste weken van dit vervoer twee vaste sets kolenwagens de dienst uitmaakten (TSSC Falns en Ermewa Eanos), is het nu steeds een verassing wat de grens over komt aan kolenwagens.
Begin oktober kwamen er Roemeense kolenbakken van Touax naar de grens.
Na een tip werd er snel naar het spoor gehaast en passeert hier de 1829 met de fraaie sleep Roemeense Falns, richting de Maasvlakte.

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.
