On an errand today I had the feeling it might be worth taking the camera. Just as I was about to head back I saw this little beauty resting up on some brambles.
Despite the blown out areas I do like taking shots of these backlit as the orange just glows.

Great to finally get out with the camera and even better to have found a really good local population of Orange-tips, with this male the pick of the bunch.
Gorgeous display of Burnt-tip Orchids this year. Science name: Neotinea ustulata. Martin Down National Nature Reserve. Hampshire, England
An old picture. I really liked the contrast between the shapes of the tips and the shadows on the background. Hope you'll like it!

I think, if nothing changes or things get worse, many will pay a high price.

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.
I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.
I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !
I've seen a few male Orange Tips on the wing in recent days. I managed to catch this fine looking male this morning.
Rusty-tipped page (Siproeta epaphus) or brown siproeta, is a New World butterfly that lives all year in tropical habitats. Seen at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Butterfly Jungle
A medium-sized dark-backed albatross with pale underwings outlined by a narrow dark border and a dark notch in the armpit. The adult has a whitish head with grayish cheeks that give it a “white-capped” appearance. The gray-green bill has a yellowish tip to both mandibles. Juveniles are grayer on the head with gray bills. The species breeds on islands off Tasmania and New Zealand but disperses widely across the southern Oceans between 15 and 60°S, where it is a frequently encountered pelagic seabird. Similar albatrosses have a dark-tipped (not pale-tipped) lower half to the bill, and Salvin’s Albatross has a pale gray head and Chatham Albatross a slaty-gray head, further differentiating them from White-capped Albatross. Juveniles of these three are very difficult to separate. (eBird)

By far the most frequently seen albatraoss of our trip. Usually seen gliding effortlessly over the ocean, this one decided to join the fun of our albatross hunt. He is one of the four species that we found that day.

One from last year, keep seeing them go through garden but they do not stop. Will we get out in time to photograph these this year I wonder. Taken late evening with the low sun back lighting the butterfly and a little fill flash on front of subject. Kingcombe Meadows, Dorset.
After years of trying and being frustrated that they were always to fast, I finally managed to get a decent shot of an Orange tip. Stoked! Arnhem, Netherlands
What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.

She is still on the flower over an hour later. They sometimes use our garden as a bedroom.
