The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements.
On the tip of a new season? It's a bit chilly here today and unfortunately my snow dance didn't work...hope you have a wonderful First Day of Spring.
Maybe Fixed head powered, ex NCB? but in very tidy order -back then of course, this yard did not keep stock for long before stuff was cut up!
Tip
Using cardboard or flags for hard shadows is an awesome trick.
Make sure you place the object as close as possible to the model otherwise the shadow will not be hard enough.

Time had come recently to move some of my motley collection to a new location nearer to home. Here we see my 1958 Thames Trader 55 tipper just after it had arrived on the farm in Tamahere. It was bar-towed from Hamilton with myself at the wheel.
The Renault 17TS in the tipper body is the donor car for my other 17TS (now also moved to the new storage location).
A Chicago landmark, the Allerton Hotel originally opened during the roaring twenties.
The Tip Top Tap references the name of the swanky lounge that partied on during the 1940's and 50's. The distinctive red sign is prominently seen up and down the Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue.

A new Isuzu bulk tipping lorry operated by Daltons of Matamata, suppliers of potting mixes and other landscaping products. More often than not such a truck would operate with a 4-axle drawbar trailer.
I am not a fan of the recent updating/restyling of the Isuzu cab front, particularly the upper grille area with its six black areas as well as the gap below it which gives the appearance of there being something missing.
This was taken on Tues 5th April 2016 during a dress rehearsal for Tip Top “The Weekend” written by Michael Palin.

The black and white female rejects the advances of the male by raising her abdomen. This could be because she is already mated or just not in the mood. Whatever, the fluttering male remains both out of focus and out of luck. Not his day!

Orange Tip - Bowers Marsh RSPB reserve, Pitsea, Essex. so well camouflaged when they close their wings!
Had a walk round the Midhurst yesterday bu the river. Found this orange tip - who stuck around for a few photos.
Just the tip of the macro iceberg! I'm going to enjoy using the D300 and the Nikon 105mm macro lens combination!
It's going to take forever to learn the new camera layout though! The buttons are in all the wrong places! What is second nature with the Canon, is completely alien with the Nikon! Mad! All part of the fun of learning something new I suppose! :)
Right, I'm off to visit some photostreams while my battery re-charges!!
Large on black! :)
