From a palm tree that produces small coconut like fruit. The trunk and fronds are covered with these thorns. They are up to six inches long and extremely sharp. The theme "tip" for today's Looking Close on Friday group inspired this photo.

Another slide restoration from the 1990s, this one showing the waste from slate mining in Wales.
Today of course, such waste is a valuable asset with many uses.
did try to put the Tears for Fears track here (tipping point) but for some reason I keep on getting a bad link - so I shall hum instead -----^^
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?

Buon fine settimana amici cari da Liliana.

It's hard not to just go to Ocean City and fire of a zillion shots in a row. But if you sit and wait for that bird to land at the right spot and get that great background, it will be more gratifying in the end and it gives your camera time to focus. Plus, you don't spend hours deleting all those missed shots. That's my tip of the day.
Ocean City, NJ
A freshly emerged female, nectaring on Forget-me-nots - soon attracting attention from a number of amorous males (Nottingham, UK) (1681).
This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.
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.

As I was driving back to Anchroage from Seward I saw this mountain top. What grabbed my attention were the crisp sharp lines and angles of the snow on the mountain top.
After running some errands I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the day, but a hot tip about a daylight EDPL made me muster up enough motivation to go out. Here we see EDPL blasting south by CPR-33 in Deerfield, MA with a pair of GP40's powering the 35 car train. CPR-33 is one of the last interlockings on the Conn River that still uses B&M searchlight signals (the other being the southern home signal at CPF 385). As I type this post, EDPL is currently tied down on the Controlled Siding at CPR-1 in Springfield, where it will be capped with a Cab Signal equipped leader for the rest of their journey overnight to Plainville.

Sorry, can't show the purple tip, its on the inside, although with butterflies its called the upper side.
Update: iNaturalist's ID seems to be: diverse white/appias epaphia contracta www.inaturalist.org/observations/10243925
Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
