The famous neon sign of the Tip Top Tap atop the Allerton Hotel in Chicago's Magnificent Mile still glows into the night. The Mad Men era bar is now a ballroom, but the hotel has been given a renovation. This was a reflection in the windows nearby taken from the top of our hotel, the MileNorth Hotel on East Superior Street.
First Orange-tip I have managed to photograph so far this year, though they are now starting to appear in greater numbers.
This musical phenomenon comes to Theatr Clwyd for the first time thanks to Tip Top Productions.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s Book Of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. “Prologue – Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” additional material written by Trevor Nunn and Richard Stilgoe; ”Memory” additional material written by Trevor Nunn.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year—the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories to Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. Among the candidates are the aging theatre cat, Gus; the rocker, Rum Tum Tugger; and the once-glamorous Grizabella, now but a faded memory of her former self.
Boasting a score that includes Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats, Mr. Mistoffelees and Memory, this compelling fable takes audiences to a fantastical world that can only exist in the theatre. Cats has been performed worldwide and translated into over 20 languages. The original West End production ran for 21 years and the original Broadway production ran for 18 years

No butterflies were harmed in the making of this photo. If you go out early in the morning, they can be found resting on the tops of ladies smock flowers and are so quiet and sleepy they can be carried inside for photos without any containment. This one was put back after a few photos.
When your bird has a great shape (like most birds do) and you have a bright background, consider making a silhouette by exposing for the background and letting the bird go completely black. To do this, use spot metering and meter on the background.

11-12-15_MG_4330 It was a treat to find one of these again, several years ago I had my only other one of this species and barely got any usable photos of it at that time.
The very tip of the Peninsular.
A brilliant fishing spot.
This was taken with my previous mobile phone.
A pair of tiny Burnt Tip Orchids in the limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District.
I photographed this Irish built Dennison truck in Preston in 1991.
250 were built between 1977 and 1981 using Finnish Sisu cabs and in this case a Rolls Royce diesel engine.
This is a scanned image.
Beautiful male Orange Tip on their favourite Cuckoo Flower.
Also notice the large water drops on his abdomen.
How to make shots like these:
*) Leaving work early to find pink Q-tips
*) Searching in at least three shops for them (where are all those pink q-tips if you need them?!)
*) Heading for photography class
*) Coming home at 10pm
*) Carrying home a 30kg package (with your brand new studio lights)
*) Trying to set up those studio lights (feeling as dumb as never before doing it)
*) Eating some chocolate to calm down
*) Trying to to set up the studio lights again, this time correctly
*) Searching for some beer because you don't have any more chocolate
*) Arranging 100 Q-tips on your table (quite challenging when its midnight already and you drank some beer)
*) Swearing as loud as you can (your neighbours need to know about that f.... q-tips that fell off the f.... table)
*) Drinking more beer
*) Making some shots standing in your pyjamas on your dining table
*) Trying to edit some pictures in the middle of the night
*) Going to bed at 1.30am
*) Beeing terribly late for work the next day
*) Hoping that this counts for this week's pretty pink Tuesday theme (geometric pink)
So named because of the male's bright orange tips to his forewings. The males are a common sight in spring, flying along hedgerows and damp meadows in search of the more reclusive female which lacks the orange and is often mistaken for one of the other 'White' butterflies. The undersides are mottled green and white and create a superb camouflage when settled on flowerheads such as Cow Parsley and Garlic Mustard Alliaria petiolata. The male is able to hide his orange tips by tucking the forewings behind the hindwings at rest. On close examination of the mottling, the green colour can be seen to be made up of a mixture of black and yellow scales. The butterfly is found across Europe, and eastwards into temperate Asia as far as Japan.
Hello my flickr friends and a rather splendid butterfly today from one of my walks. taken at the banks Fordon
Once again orange tips were the most common butterfly I saw and I still can not stop photographing them. I am however only uploading one of several shots I liked - all of males.
