Gorgeous display of Burnt-tip Orchids this year. Science name: Neotinea ustulata. Martin Down National Nature Reserve. Hampshire, England
An old picture. I really liked the contrast between the shapes of the tips and the shadows on the background. Hope you'll like it!

I think, if nothing changes or things get worse, many will pay a high price.

made with stable diffusion,topaz and photoshop.
I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.
I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !

Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire and difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.
Tipped over outhouse - someone digging in the pit? Lots of stuff thrown in there. Thanks to Rick Gulden for bringing this subject up.
There are so many of these plants, that I have to post a closeup with the previous image. I have four more views, but I'll save them for another day.
In the interim, more aboit Leucospermom, Pom Pom / Pincushion flowers. Leucospermum species mostly have seated, simple, mostly leathery, often softly hairy leaves, set in a spiral, with entire margins or more often, with 3–17 blunt teeth with thickened, bony tips, and without stipules at their foot. The flowers are organised with many together in heads with bracts on the under- or outside.
Most pincushions are upright shrubs or even small trees of 1–5 m (3.3–16.4 ft) high, that usually have a single main stem. Some species however only have trailing branches and can form low mats, 1–5 m (3.3–16.4 ft) in diameter. Yet another set of species grow several stems directly from a rootstock in the ground. This is an important character in distinguishing between some species.
A desert rarity found in small numbers on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands back in February (6829).

Didn’t have much time for photos today. Went to visit our daughter today. Her girlfriend broke up with her so she’s down in the dumps. Day 5 of 365
Male Orange Tip on larvae food plant Lady's Smock. If you look closely you can see a freshly laid egg of an Orange Tip just below this male. Taken at Kingcombe Meadows West Dorset late evening with both butterfly and background lit by flash.
TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
