Yellow flowers cover the golden willows (Salix alba ‘Vitellina’) along Silver Tip Creek east of Belfry in Carbon County, Montana. A variety of white willow, the golden willow grows new stems that are a bright golden color. This bright color makes these trees stand out in the winter. In the spring slim, cylindrical, yellow flower clusters called catkins cover the trees as seen in this photo. These yellow flowers will give way to green leaves as the summer approaches. Golden willows are not native to Montana and Wyoming but were introduced by settlers who used them as windbreaks and shade trees. They escaped cultivation and naturalized across the area.

I was delighted to find this orange tip settled with wings closed towards the end of my walk. It was in an area I do not usually visit or expect to see much.

The underside of this species is very different to other butterflies in Britain and makes the male orange tip very appealing in both ventral and dorsal views.

Tiny birds at only 4" from tip to tail. This one was photographed in marshy grassland, on the Gold Coast.

Tip Top Mono

This is an Aeonium, Tip Top. I decided to take this image with the intention of converting to mono to show the detail and the little hairs on each leaf.

Last Thursday I spent a few hours on one and the same field for the Orange Tips.

They were very active and shy, luckily I had the telelens with me. So I could keep some distance, while zooming in.

Here a male feeding from the Cuckoo Flower.

This could easily be mistaken for a piece of Birch tree but it's a Buff-Tip moth. I love its camouflage!
