A trip to the tip at Alloa to dump off loads of rubbish from clearing out my Mum's stuff, and general decluttering provided a surprise with this young Osytercatcher chick getting shown the ropes by its parent, just by the offices

Nightowls Pittock Mansion Meetup, Portland, Oregon
I met up with the Nightowls for a Moonrise at the Pittock Mansion last night. We were promised a centered Moon above the tip of Mount Hood. I got out my big lens and zoomed right on in. I've wanted this for a long time so now it's one more thing I can check off my bucket list.
Happy Friday Everybody!

Latin Name: Polygonatum multiflorum - Solomon's Seal
This is part of a spring floral series, showing some of the colours and plants in our garden in April/May/June.
A relative of the Lily of the Valley, its flowers greatly resemble those of that plant in shape and fragrance.
With its graceful arching branches, exquisite white flowers shaped like little bells and tipped with yellow or green, the Solomon's Seal plant is just the thing for the garden to usher in each new spring season.
The name originates from a mark where the stem rises out of the plant's rhizome that can often look like two interlocked triangles, the legendary 'Star of David' and the symbol of Solomon.
The stems can grow up to four feet high and look extremely attractive with their blue green leaves, each over six inches in length. These leaves will turn golden yellow in autumn, and at that time the plant will have blue berries.
Taken with my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, and framed in Photoshop.

Mach Loop Bwlch top shelf 26.04.2016
I am very much an opportunist as far as the Loop is concerned. I don't have the privilege of tip offs or contacts within squadrons like some do unfortunately.
I will book a day off work, drive to Mid Wales climb a big hill and just hope for the best. I arrived at the Bwlch car park just before 8am and it was full! Last time it was like this I had a good day.... Today was probably the most memorable day I will ever have in the loop.
Started off well with a Tornado GR4, then a Hawk. Then it got interesting, Belgians in the Lichfield Corridor over the scanner requesting Low Fly. Awesome! F16s through the loop, really pleased!
A little longer passed and we endured a full blown blizzard for about 20 minutes. Once the snow passed the skies cleared and then we waited. Americans over the scanner, Rage was the call sign, F15's were on the way! As they neared then they began talking about the formation, they had Raptors in tow!!!!
My first time seeing the Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) this year, and they were out in force. In this area between London and Watford the Commas were out first 3 weeks ago and subsequently odd sightings of Peacocks and tortoiseshells.
I haven't made a tip jar in over a year, the last one was getting old, bulky and too much...This one just came out of nowhere while digging thru inventory for Altered Things....Put it together and am honestly SHOCKED it works lol! keep it simple.
At the summit of Mount Washington, NH
The Tip-Top House is a historic former hotel in Mount Washington State Park in Sargent's Purchase, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1853, it is the oldest surviving building in the summit area of Mount Washington, and is believed by the state to be the oldest extant mountain-top hostelry in the world. It features exhibits concerning the mountain's history.
It's taken me a long time to get a shot of a male orange tip with his wings open like this. As most of you will know they're always on the wing and rarely settled or they're found with their wings held upright when at rest. This one though obliged nicely allowing me the opportunity to take a few shots.
at the animalshelter where i volunteer.
"This is Tipper he just got brought in and is ery scared, thats why he has his own cage, where he can get used to beeing with other cats and us from a save distance, she loves to be pat"
Het Oranjetipje, één van de eerste vlinders in het voorjaar! Een vrolijk rondvliegend witje dat zijn naam dankt aan zijn fel oranje vleugeltoppen. Oranjetipjes kun je vooral vinden in vochtige graslanden met bosranden in de buurt. Vliegt van half april tot eind mei in één generatie.
It's always a good idea to check the closet for creepy old men with a camera. They are usually harmless but can be a bit of a nuisance when you are trying to get to sleep.
Beautiful male Orange Tip on their favourite Cuckoo Flower.
Also notice the large water drops on his abdomen.
This is the first Orange-tip butterfly I've see this year, resting on a Pheasant's Eye (?) Narcissus. Taken at Brodsworth Hall garden earlier this month.
I posted another shot of this butterfly with it's wings closed at about 4pm (UK) yesterday and since then (over 22 hours ago) it's received very few views (just 12, at the moment), so I'm not sure if everyone can see it. Others have reported this sort of issue and I have seen it myself on previous occasions, so I've reported this to Flickr (as suggested on the help forum thread). I've left the original there to allow them to investigate. Please let me know if you can see the previous image too.
Unfortunately fly tipping has increased in the countryside during the covid period. Scum staining our countryside and driving farmers nuts!
