He runs (owns?) the small Mexican restaurant down the block from me. Too small to put many dining tables out on the street in front of the restaurant. So the main source of income during the Covid-19 pandemic is a takeout window from which they also serve drinks. Tips have always been appreciated. Now more than ever.
Using a very shallow DOF (f2.0) and placing focus on the petal tip gives this image a somewhat painterly look.
Found this male Orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) in the garden the other week.
According to "UK Butterflies": "The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements." www.ukbutterflies.co.uk
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.
Lots of Orange Tip Butterflies in the garden yesterday on the wildflowers - thanks to #NoMowMay. They really like the Cuckoo Flowers and I noticed a bit of a commotion on this one!

From L'Anse to Summit CN battles a stiff eastbound grade that tops out at 3.04% as they climb the Huron Mountains. L540 is near the top of that Climb and has reached fresh frosted trees but that didn't last as we dropped back down in elevation.
Lots of Orange Tip butterflies on the wing along the River Orwell and Chantry Cut in Ipswich today! Most were pretty flighty but I managed some shots of this pair who were otherwise occupied!
Orange-tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. Adults lay their eggs on garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable. It is a white butterfly with half of its forewing being a bold orange colour, and with light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.
Orange-tips are found across the UK, but are scarcer in the north of Scotland.
Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, eating their own eggshell when they emerge and moving on to eat other orange-tip eggs nearby. The caterpillars pupate in July and overwinter as a pupa, emerging as butterflies the following spring.

En una fresca y nublada mañana de marzo, buscando a las Callophrys RubÃ, que no aparecieron, encontré a este pequeño escarabajo, que me sirvió para matar el gusanillo macrero, desconozco la especie a la que pertenece..
Ya volveré con mejor tiempo en busca de las RubÃ.
I woke up this morning to a carpet of snow on my garden and the birdbath frozen solid, yet two days earlier I was photographing this male Orange Tip basking in the warm sunshine nearby.
Back Garden - not the most obliging with its positioning (it was fine when it landed, but moved position before I had locked focus)
Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.
More than 50% crop of the original.
Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.
Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.
But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

I recently recorded a video with B&H with some helpful tips for shooting with a long telephoto lens. Check it out in the link below:

I cover topics such as selecting the right lens, handholding techniques, how to shoot from a tripod in both calm and windy conditions, and much more!
