I photographed this female Orange Tip butterfly nectaring on Forget-me-nots in my garden yesterday. Females lack the orange tips to their forewings which makes them more difficult to find as they are easily overlooked as Green-veined or Small Whites. Its scientific name is Anthocharis cardamines. The first bit means "rejoicing in flowers" while cardamines is the scientific name of its other main larval foodplant; Cuckoo Flower.
......Well it`s something different. Part of the Margate carnival which took place on the 5th of August 2018.

Although Willington has been flooded for months I went looking for hairy dragonflies none seen by me but a possible sighting from the hide by 2 other guys. I did see a marsh harrier, a bittern and my first damselfies for 2024 plus a few other birds.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated

My first view point of the orange tip, but I carefully eased myself around to the other side for what I thought was the better view ... in comments belows.

A trip to the tip at Alloa to dump off loads of rubbish from clearing out my Mum's stuff, and general decluttering provided a surprise with this young Osytercatcher chick getting shown the ropes by its parent, just by the offices
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 ;)
Nightowls Pittock Mansion Meetup, Portland, Oregon
I met up with the Nightowls for a Moonrise at the Pittock Mansion last night. We were promised a centered Moon above the tip of Mount Hood. I got out my big lens and zoomed right on in. I've wanted this for a long time so now it's one more thing I can check off my bucket list.
Happy Friday Everybody!
Delighted to see my first Orange-tip male Butterfly in my gdn this morning in spite of a cool wind. the underside shot was taken with a lot of zoom as it was still very mobile. Still not seeing as many butterflies as usual by this time of year & not seen any Small Tortoiseshell's, most unusual but those are reported as declining species
Tip:
Focussed light can be incredibly powerful. You can of course use a snoot but in most cases this will still give a bit too much light. Don't be afraid to use cardboard to block off even more of the light and really only "paint" the light where you want it.

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.

Built in 1853, it is the oldest surviving building in the summit area of Mount Washington, and is believed by the state to be the oldest extant mountain-top hostelry in the world. It features exhibits concerning the mountain's history.
