Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.
Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.

Sedum has just started to bloom in the garden, the pollinators will be glad of some late summer food.
Thanks for the views, faves and comments
I found my first Orange Tips of the year yesterday including this very fresh male. I had to be patient after spotting him settle when the clouds came over, it took 30 mins before the sun reappeared and he opened his wings and flew off a few seconds later.
April 12, 2024, Lost Maples State Natural Area TX.
The White-tipped Dove is a bit rarer than the more prevalent White-winged Doves for the area of TX where we were. This bird flew in and foraged about 10 feet from me as I was sitting on the ground watching the hummingbirds feed. I had been hearing the low single note call of the White-tipped Doves while at Lost Maples, but didn't realize that's who this was until just going through my photos and checking my bird app today! The White-winged doves have white edging along the front of their wings..

Sunsets make excellent opportunities for photographing hairy caterpillars such as this Buff-tip moth caterpillar, as the golden light highlights their hairs and really makes them glow.
A job as a labourer on the Wulong Mine spoil tip is not a happy one in western eyes, but these workers are not only bemused at visitors but friendly beyond belief, apparently quite used to the many photographers that now appear from all corners of the globe to visit this most inhospitable of places. Fuxin city in Liaoning Province unfolds below as Fuxin Mining Railway 'SY' class 2-8-2 No.1195 waits for its spoil train to be dealt with in a 21st century manner, more traditional tools still being relied upon to add those final finishing touches to the mountain of waste material created over decades of deep and opencast mining. A traditional 'tuc-tuc' vehicle has found its way to the top of the tip to transport a labourer home, such vehicles being quite rare now in the Fuxin area, being replaced widespread by electric-powered vehicles, but still having the added luxury of coal-fired stoves for keeping passengers warm!. This scene, quite incredible for 2016, can surely not last for much longer in the ever-evolving China of the 21st century.

Tip
Sometimes natural light is more than enough.
So always also shoot some images with the available light it might be that you don't need the strobes ;)
It was worth a few nettle stings to get this shot of mating Orange Tips. The male on the left, the female on the right.

The chick fell off the adults back and tumbled into the water. It carried on trying to get the fish down its throat. In the end the adult ate it. The Arches, Carr Mill Dam, St.Helens, Merseyside.

Lapwings grow a new set of feathers in the autumn and the upperpart feathers have a narrow buffy tip that wears off by spring leaving the glossy breeding plumage. Nearly all of my Lapwing photographs were taken on the breeding grounds in the hills so I think this is the first adult in its buffy-scaled winter plumage that I have uploaded. Also in winter they tend to live in skittish flocks so they are not as easy to photograph close. Young Lapwings also have more extensive buffy edges but the glossy colours and long crest show this to be an adult. Here's a young bird for comparison with a short crest: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/36052348383/in/photolist Adult male Lapwings have black all over the front of the face that join up with the breast band so this white faced bird is a female. Here's an adult male: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/36953431185/in/photolist I photographed this winter-plumaged female at Martin Mere in lowland Lancashire where they are common in winter. They usually vacate the hills in winter but their noisy return in March (sometimes earlier) is one of the first signs of spring.
