Missed searching the field for butterflies...but it always comes back :)

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.

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.

I am reasonably pleased with this Orange-tip picture, as it shows not just the orange tips, but also the camouflage outer wing.

Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.

 

Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.

 

But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

He is a heavy tipper, some would say the sky was the limit!

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.

Just as attractive, even without those orange tipped wings!

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.

Fun fact: Male orange tips (like this one) live on the edges of woodland, while females live in meadows.

Also had a Holly Blue land on some blossom, but too high for photos.

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.
