"This is Tipper he just got brought in and is ery scared, thats why he has his own cage, where he can get used to beeing with other cats and us from a save distance, she loves to be pat"
Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.
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.
Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.
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

Sedum has just started to bloom in the garden, the pollinators will be glad of some late summer food.
Thanks for the views, faves and comments
I found my first Orange Tips of the year yesterday including this very fresh male. I had to be patient after spotting him settle when the clouds came over, it took 30 mins before the sun reappeared and he opened his wings and flew off a few seconds later.
April 12, 2024, Lost Maples State Natural Area TX.
The White-tipped Dove is a bit rarer than the more prevalent White-winged Doves for the area of TX where we were. This bird flew in and foraged about 10 feet from me as I was sitting on the ground watching the hummingbirds feed. I had been hearing the low single note call of the White-tipped Doves while at Lost Maples, but didn't realize that's who this was until just going through my photos and checking my bird app today! The White-winged doves have white edging along the front of their wings..
Night time is the right time. Hird Transport's Scania tipping asphalt on the A63 Castle Street Hull.
A pair of tiny Burnt Tip Orchids in the limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District.
Sunsets make excellent opportunities for photographing hairy caterpillars such as this Buff-tip moth caterpillar, as the golden light highlights their hairs and really makes them glow.
A job as a labourer on the Wulong Mine spoil tip is not a happy one in western eyes, but these workers are not only bemused at visitors but friendly beyond belief, apparently quite used to the many photographers that now appear from all corners of the globe to visit this most inhospitable of places. Fuxin city in Liaoning Province unfolds below as Fuxin Mining Railway 'SY' class 2-8-2 No.1195 waits for its spoil train to be dealt with in a 21st century manner, more traditional tools still being relied upon to add those final finishing touches to the mountain of waste material created over decades of deep and opencast mining. A traditional 'tuc-tuc' vehicle has found its way to the top of the tip to transport a labourer home, such vehicles being quite rare now in the Fuxin area, being replaced widespread by electric-powered vehicles, but still having the added luxury of coal-fired stoves for keeping passengers warm!. This scene, quite incredible for 2016, can surely not last for much longer in the ever-evolving China of the 21st century.
