These pretty little butterflies are easy to spot as the males’ wings have bright orange tips – giving them their name! They are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. The adults lay their eggs on special plants to ensure that their caterpillars have the right food to eat. Orange-tip caterpillars love garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable: a white butterfly, half of its forewing is a bold orange, and it has 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.
I just can’t get enough of the sunsets from the tip of Point Pelee National Park. Every season provides new photographic opportunities of the setting sun over Lake Erie. On this late winter visit to Canada’s most southern national park, the west winds had pushed the ice from the lake onto the shore, creating many wonderful shapes.
One from the archives for the Looking Close on Friday theme of tip. I have no idea what the plant is!
CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.
Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

When in the country I use to find antlers that had been shed, trick is to beat the field mice to the prize. That is my tip of the day on getting antler tips.
A freshly emerged female, nectaring on Forget-me-nots - soon attracting attention from a number of amorous males (Nottingham, UK) (1681).

As I was driving back to Anchroage from Seward I saw this mountain top. What grabbed my attention were the crisp sharp lines and angles of the snow on the mountain top.
While playing around with the 135mm I found this female Orange-Tip feeding.
For this picture i used the Meike ext tube set.
