When the sun decided to shine,albeit a short time,it didn't take long for these little beauties to appear. A gorgeous male Orange Tip.

The female Orange Tip is more secretive and less conspicuous than the male. She lacks the orange wing tips, which warn of his unpalatability, and is often passed over as a Small or Green-veined White. From above, the female can be distinguished from the other whites by the isolated black spot near the front edge of the forewings and the faint pattern showing through from the underside of the hindwings.
Back Garden - not the most obliging with its positioning (it was fine when it landed, but moved position before I had locked focus)
Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.
More than 50% crop of the original.

ICM Seascape. I thought I would try a ICM image of the sea. I find these types of shot;s difficult to evaluate, as there are no guide lines. Like DOF sharpness composition.
But there you go love them or hate them here it is, I personally like them in small dosses.

Fun fact: Male orange tips (like this one) live on the edges of woodland, while females live in meadows.
Back Garden - couldn't believe my luck when he landed on this dead daffodil (I didn't spot the photobomber at the time)
Also had a Holly Blue land on some blossom, but too high for photos.
Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

CREATE THE FUTURE YOU WANT TO FACE
June days are sunny days full of endless possibilities
roses bloom and their perfume pervades the sun warmed air
my step is light my thoughts are free
and both can wander by the sea
in boundless joy I skip and dance along the sands to new romance
collecting sea glass green and blue and pretty shells in every hue
pebbles tumble as the ebb and flow
of summer tides reaches my toes
and cries of seagulls overhead lumber through the skies well fed
on chips and ice-cream discarded by the kids of tourists passing by
the golden hour comes at last and I revel in the breezy blast
of cooler air and silence reached when only I am on my beach
the best part of the day for me when I am where I want to be
walking dawdling in idle fashion along the shore that is my passion
meditating deep in thought worry free my dreams are caught
between the ocean and the sky
sweet taste of freedom hopes are high
no need to dwell on past mistakes begin again release the brakes
the universe sends angel signs white feathers found along the lines
among the stones and grains of sand
yin and yang drawn by some hand
another hopeful hearted soul left a message where I stroll
perhaps the message was meant for me
or someone else who is fancy free
whatever else it warms my heart to see that angels will impart
the gift of love and precious signs that fill my soul and so entwine
my destiny and fate in one and make me feel I've just begun
the great adventure of my life
where once was empty now is free from strife
and filled with promises of dreams
still yet to come; soft flowing streams
and fill my senses with songs to strum beating time my fingers drum
and pluck my guitar newly strung
to play the songs that must be sung
and songs my heart has memorised
since time began and I surprised
my soul that nestled softly dormant waiting for an end to torment
awakens with simplicity forgets it once knew duplicity
and rises up to join my heart to sing and dance a brand new start
rises with the silvered moon the dancing can't begin too soon
tomorrow was always meant to be a gift to match eternity
an endless joyful day and night to uplift my spirits never fight
or dampen down the joy I send
to a stranger who may become my friend
and return the gift of love tenfold
to a heart and soul that had foretold
the future like a crystal ball reflected in the eyes of all
that gaze upon a love so pure and appreciate the sweet allure
of unconditional love and more
when love comes knocking on my door

My first Orange Tip of the year, a fresh male photographed this morning at Fenny Compton Tunnel in Warwickshire.
2 more photos of orange tip butterflies seen yesterday.
The only flowers that any settled on yesterday.
Victoria Vergara has just walked all the way to the longboard tip. Soon to run back for balance.
This is an infrared shot that's been heavily tweaked to have colors extracted and tuned.

Dawn over the defunct pit at Fuxin. The SY loco was tipping spoil from the Wulong deep mine, but they didn't make much of an impression on filling the big hole, especially as the Wulong coal mine has since closed - and the steamers have gone too.

Yellow-tipped Flasher (Telegonus anausis) captured at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. This image showcases the butterfly perched delicately on a cluster of white flowers, its intricate wing patterns and vibrant yellow tips highlighted against a softly blurred green backdrop. The photo was taken with a Canon R5 and an RF 100-400mm lens combined with a 1.4x extender, using a shutter speed of 1/180 sec at f/11 and ISO 800. The f/11 aperture was intentionally chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, ensuring the entire butterfly and its perch remained in sharp focus.
From a photographer's perspective, capturing the Yellow-tipped Flasher in its natural habitat presented a rewarding challenge. The choice of equipment and settings was crucial to freeze the subtle movements of the butterfly while maintaining clarity and depth. The Emerald Valley Nature Center is renowned as the top spot in Honduras for butterfly photography, offering a diverse array of species to observe and capture. Special thanks to Robert Gallardo and his efforts at the nature center. His dedication to conservation and his comprehensive butterfly book have been invaluable resources for understanding the rich biodiversity of this region. This image stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature, and I hope it inspires others in the photography community to continue exploring and preserving our natural world.

Yellow flowers cover the golden willows (Salix alba ‘Vitellina’) along Silver Tip Creek east of Belfry in Carbon County, Montana. A variety of white willow, the golden willow grows new stems that are a bright golden color. This bright color makes these trees stand out in the winter. In the spring slim, cylindrical, yellow flower clusters called catkins cover the trees as seen in this photo. These yellow flowers will give way to green leaves as the summer approaches. Golden willows are not native to Montana and Wyoming but were introduced by settlers who used them as windbreaks and shade trees. They escaped cultivation and naturalized across the area.

I was delighted to find this orange tip settled with wings closed towards the end of my walk. It was in an area I do not usually visit or expect to see much.
The underside of this species is very different to other butterflies in Britain and makes the male orange tip very appealing in both ventral and dorsal views.
I'm struggling to comprehend the seeming speed with which life has transitioned from manageable to the unimaginable. The preoccupation is rightly with the coronavirus itself. But ultimately the psychological aspect of longterm stress and anxiety might prove equally disabling. Each day brings an increased awareness that this is going to be a long term situation with effects that will surely outlast the virus itself. I'm clinging to daily routines in an effort to maintain mental health. But it's deeper than that. I need to feel a sense of self worth; a need to exist. There has to be more to a day than watching endless news coverage. It's important to be dialed into events, but I fear the hypnotic effect of ongoing news feeds. Balance is key right now. It will be a process of discovery for many of us as routines change, perhaps radically, as we find out how exactly we will fit into the new model. It will be a process.
We're on the verge of the vernal equinox; the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere is Thursday. Normally a time of year filled with hope and optimism. Likely to go all but unnoticed this year. I was scrolling through an old email queue yesterday looking for a past communication. There I stumbled upon threads from exactly one year ago. They were filled with discussion of problems and issues with jobs that seemed paramount at the time, but utterly trivial now. How I wished those sorts of problems were the worst thing in life now.
The other day I noticed a very challenging astrological makeup for this week starting tomorrow, March 18. An astounding six planets will cluster in the sign of Capricorn. The indication is one of a tipping point being crossed. Perhaps a big disclosure is in the offing. The tension will remain strong through early next week. Stay safe.
