Found a couple of fresh female Orange-tips in the lane outside the house on Thursday however due to the current Hobby obsession, which shows little sign of abating, I didn't take a look at the shots.
Can go as Large as you like with this.
A rusty circa 1970s Volvo F89 4X2 rigid tipper lorry, abandoned behind a commercial vehicle workshop on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece.
This 1988 Hino tipper was owned by a Dunstable haulier; it was last licensed in August 1999. Snapped, I think, off Victoria Street in March 1994.

Vehicle Scrapyard in Pripyat.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

Orange Tip Butterfly ( Anthocharis Cardamines )
the underwing ( closed position ) has a mottled pattern.
Pulling rotor tip vortices in the still-damp air, Odiham based Royal Air Force Boeing Chinook HC.2 ZH777 cavorts around the Waddington skies in the only way a RAF Chinook demo can!
Amazing how they throw that huge beast around!
Back Garden - "sods law" - all the days I've spent over the last couple of weeks sitting ready with the camera, only to see these guys fly through without stopping, today I was actually doing something, (I was dismantling an old garden bench for renovation) my hands were covered in WD-40 and rust, when my wife told me an Orange-tip had just landed - a quick dash indoors to wash my hands, and luckily he was still on the dandelion seed head, I managed a couple of shots but as I was moving to a better position he left. Hopefully there will be more chances.

Our Daily Challenge ~ Tip or Tips ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
A few days ago I posted a female Anthocharis cardamines (Linnaeus, 1758). This one is the male of the species with the signature orange pigmentation on its wings and the origin of its common name, i.e. the orange tip.
Thanks a lot for stopping by, your comments and likes mean a lot to me and are very much appreciated!
Orange Tip - Garden, Hullbridge, Essex. This one or others visited the garden all afternoon. Great to see with the whites as well.
My trip to hopefully see and photograph orange tips was successful even though the sun only remained out for around 40 minutes and there were very few of the cuckoo flowers that are the main attraction at this reserve.
Though not on a flower, I am otherwise very pleased with this photo.
Summers are round the corner. As responsible pet owners, we must anticipate and meet their up-coming needs.

Buff Tip. Brilliantly disguised moth. Looks like a piece of twig. July visitor to my moth trap, Hunmanby, North Yorkshire.
Three wagons from the NCB South Notts Area in 1982 including an early Seddon-Atkinson 400 six wheeled tipper, MVO 318P ( not so common as a rigid six-wheeler), a late model Leyland Clydesdale with the 'Super G-Cab' and another 400.

I joined a NANPA (North American Nature Photographers Association) Meetup organized by Bob Canepa and Don Quintana. Great time. Thanks.
Don't know why I hadn't tried this before, but the other day I put the mp-e65 on two sets of extension tubes and cackled maniacally as lightning clashed outside. This is the tip of a ballpoint pen, uncropped. You can see the thickness of ink.
Also, if anybody thinks this doesn't belong in poor man's macro let me know. I feel like the group is based more around trying new techniques than about actual investment in photography equipment but if that's not the case I'll remove it.
