I have been missing in action - painting holiday cards. :)
I'll do my best to catch up in the next few days!
From a palm tree that produces small coconut like fruit. The trunk and fronds are covered with these thorns. They are up to six inches long and extremely sharp. The theme "tip" for today's Looking Close on Friday group inspired this photo.

Description du lièvre européen
C'est en quelque sorte un gros lapin , plus grand, plus mince, ayant de plus grandes pattes et de plus grandes oreilles. Sa taille varie entre 50 et 70 cm de longueur pour un poids de 2,5 à 6,5 kg. Les pattes mesurent entre 12 et 15 cm ce qui lui permet d'atteindre des vitesses de pointes supérieures à 60 km/h. Il a une petite queue légèrement touffue mesurant 7 et 11 cm et de couleur noire sur le dessus et blanc sur le dessous. Ses oreilles, plus longues que la tête, sont grises avec les pointes noires.
Son pelage est épais et de couleur généralement brun foncé avec la partie ventrale blanche ou beige. On note que certains spécimens prennent parfois une teinte légèrement gris foncé à noire sur la croupe. Enfin le lièvre mue l'automne pour prendre un pelage plus épais pour l'hiver et au printemps des poils vont tomber pour un pelage plus court et plus clair.
Le lièvre a 28 dents donc 16 sur la partie supérieure de la mâchoire et 12 sur la partie inférieure.

Description of the European hare
It's kind of a big bunny, bigger, thinner, with bigger paws and bigger ears. Its size varies between 50 and 70 cm in length for a weight of 2.5 to 6.5 kg. The legs measure between 12 and 15 cm which allows it to reach speeds of peaks greater than 60 km / h. It has a small, slightly bushy tail measuring 7-11 cm and black on the top and white on the underside. His ears, longer than the head, are gray with black tips.
Its coat is thick and generally dark brown in color with the white or beige ventral part. It is noted that some specimens sometimes take a slightly dark gray to black hue on the rump. Finally the hare moults in the fall to take a thicker coat for the winter and in spring the hairs will fall for a shorter and lighter coat.
The hare has 28 teeth so 16 on the upper part of the jaw and 12 on the lower part.

Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Latin and means broad, referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera. All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. The spoonbills are most distinct from the ibises in the shape of their bill, which is long and flat and wider at the end. The nostrils are located near the base of the bill so that the bird can breathe while the bill is submerged in water. The eyes are positioned to provide spoonbills with binocular vision, although when foraging tactile senses are important too. Like the ibises the spoonbills have bare patches of skin around the bills and eyes. The six species of spoonbill are distributed over much of the world.
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 48963
This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.
The Orange Tips have been around in my garden for a while now but this is the only one I've seen land, fortunately I had the camera at the ready, extender and all!!
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.
The Misadventures of Pippa & Debbie ♥
🎵 Music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSA-yHzkvP8&list=RDQSA-yHzkvP...
The Palm View Motel pool looked wonderfully peaceful.
Guests were quietly sunbathing, someone was reading a newspaper, and an inflatable pink flamingo drifted lazily across the sparkling blue water.
Everything was perfectly calm...
...until Pippa arrived.
She had been at the motel pool for exactly eleven minutes.
The manager already knew her name.
"PIPPA!"
Pippa stood on the diving board staring across the pool.
"My handbag!"
Debbie was laughing so hard she could barely hold onto the edge.
"I told you not to put everything on the flamingo!"
"It looked stable."
"It's inflatable."
"So are tyres."
"Cars manage perfectly well."
Debbie stopped laughing for a moment.
"I don't even know how to answer that."
Pippa pointed dramatically towards the flamingo.
"My shoes are on there!"
"And your handbag."
"And my towel."
"And your sunglasses."
Pippa looked at Debbie.
"How do you know everything that's on there?"
"I watched you load it."
"You could have stopped me."
"I tried."
"No..."
"You said..."
"This should be interesting."
Debbie started laughing again.
A little boy appeared carrying a pool net.
"I'll get it!"
Pippa pointed at him.
"Thank you!"
"Finally, someone responsible."
The motel manager folded his arms.
"Lady..."
"That boy is eight."
"He has a net."
The boy reached towards the flamingo.
The flamingo drifted farther away.
"Other side!" shouted Pippa.
The boy ran around the pool.
"Left!"
He changed direction.
"No..."
"My left!"
Debbie covered her face.
"Pippa..."
"Stop directing him like an airport."
The elderly man lowered his newspaper.
"Twenty cents says the handbag goes in."
The motel manager looked at him.
"Thirty says she does."
Pippa turned around.
"I can hear you!"
Suddenly the boy caught the flamingo with the net.
"I GOT IT!"
Pippa clapped her hands.
"YES!"
The flamingo tipped sideways.
Her handbag slowly slid towards the water.
Pippa gasped.
Debbie stopped laughing.
Everyone watched.
The handbag reached the edge...
...and stopped.
There was complete silence.
Pippa smiled triumphantly.
"See?"
"Everything is under control."
A shoe quietly slipped off the flamingo and splashed into the pool.
Debbie exploded with laughter.
"MY SHOE!"
Pippa launched herself from the diving board.
The motel manager threw his arms into the air.
"NO HORSEPLAY!"
"I WAS RESCUING PROPERTY!"
The manager pointed furiously at the sign.
"You've broken three pool rules!"
"I've only been here eleven minutes!"
"Exactly!"
Debbie swam over, still smiling.
"Pippa."
"What?"
"You know you're already wearing sunglasses?"
Pippa touched her face.
She was.
She slowly looked back towards the flamingo.
"Then..."
"...whose sunglasses are those?"
Debbie looked towards the elderly man.
The elderly man looked towards the flamingo.
"My wife's."
There was a long silence.
Pippa quietly handed him the wet shoe.
"Would she like this instead?"
And that was how Pippa and Debbie were politely asked to leave the Palm View Motel pool...
Pippa carrying one wet shoe.
Debbie still laughing.
And the inflatable flamingo...
...receiving the only invitation to return.

bushveld purple tip/colotis ion
Sorry, can't show the purple tip, its on the inside, although with butterflies its called the upper side.
Update: iNaturalist's ID seems to be: diverse white/appias epaphia contracta www.inaturalist.org/observations/10243925
Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
