'Anthocharis cardamines' 'Orange tip' Butterflies ( Female at the front and her Male admirer behind.)
Late May to July. Widespread and frequent throughout Britain, although more local in Scotland. An unmistakable moth which closely resembles a twig from a Silver Birch when at rest.
When at rest, the wings are held almost vertically against the body with two buff areas at the front of the thorax and at the tips of the forewings which look very like the pale wood of the birch. The rest of the wings are the same mottled grey colour of the birch bark.
Occasionally the adults can be found resting in the day on a twig or the ground. They fly at night and comes to light, usually after midnight.
Of all the abundant flowers in the Allan Gardens conservatory in Toronto, this pink tipped plant produced the most interesting photo.
First Orange-tip I have managed to photograph so far this year, though they are now starting to appear in greater numbers.
One of the 'new' Royal Navy Agusta-Westland Merlins seemingly 'tips a wink' to an outgoing Commando HC.4 as they take the salute from the crowd during after participating in the RNAS Yeovilton's annual Air Day's set-piece 'Airfield Assault'.
Most of the HC.4's have been retired - sold off for spares and scrap to be replaced by the larger and more capable ex RAF Merlin which have a door both sides of the cabin along with a rear loading ramp.
The incredible sight and sound of these huge helicopters in such close proximity certainly brings home what it must be like to be at the 'sharp' end of Royal Marine operations!
Fantastic!

I spotted this gem in the grass at the Parc Floral, where there are a number of peacocks in residence. I think that is where this small feather came from.
I spotted this Orange Tip butterfly on the drive at Yeldall Manor and had to chase round after it for a few minutes before it decided to rest for a moment... Near Hare Hatch, Berkshire, UK.

Please don't place picture in your comments, thanks
No butterflies were harmed in the making of this photo. If you go out early in the morning, they can be found resting on the tops of ladies smock flowers and are so quiet and sleepy they can be carried inside for photos without any containment. This one was put back after a few photos.

Hello my flickr friends and a rather splendid butterfly today from one of my walks. taken at the banks Fordon
How to make shots like these:
*) Leaving work early to find pink Q-tips
*) Searching in at least three shops for them (where are all those pink q-tips if you need them?!)
*) Heading for photography class
*) Coming home at 10pm
*) Carrying home a 30kg package (with your brand new studio lights)
*) Trying to set up those studio lights (feeling as dumb as never before doing it)
*) Eating some chocolate to calm down
*) Trying to to set up the studio lights again, this time correctly
*) Searching for some beer because you don't have any more chocolate
*) Arranging 100 Q-tips on your table (quite challenging when its midnight already and you drank some beer)
*) Swearing as loud as you can (your neighbours need to know about that f.... q-tips that fell off the f.... table)
*) Drinking more beer
*) Making some shots standing in your pyjamas on your dining table
*) Trying to edit some pictures in the middle of the night
*) Going to bed at 1.30am
*) Beeing terribly late for work the next day
*) Hoping that this counts for this week's pretty pink Tuesday theme (geometric pink)
A few miles from my Morning Glory Chinle site, along the same cliffs, I found another location where a blue layer meets brown and red. It's not as scenic as the former but still intriguing.
Because it is near a railroad line, I call it the Railroad Blues.
Phalera bucephala. This was quite a scruffy looking individual but from this angle it still has a certain charm to it. HMM!
Once again orange tips were the most common butterfly I saw and I still can not stop photographing them. I am however only uploading one of several shots I liked - all of males.
