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.
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.

Came across these two while out for a walk on a grey day. Both perching parallel to each other on separate flowers
I shot this orange tip butterfly while out on a cool and damp walk.
It is shot using my E-M5ii and 14-42mm EZ pancake kit lens
Cast upon the air like a fluttering piece of orange and white confetti, the little butterfly danced and birled above the grass and wildflowers.
It was a male orange-tip butterfly I followed its progress like a man possessed in the hope of capturing a photograph. But each time it seemed about to alight on the ground, a new zest of life filled its wings, and up on its way the butterfly went once more.

Skokie, Illinois. Fabulous sculpture outside the most mundane business strip in the world. There's a sculpture park nearby; maybe this one is in for repair.

Artist's Statement
My work is an attempt to give voice to inner psychological and/or spiritual states of being. What is of primary importance to me is that the figures contain particular aspects of humanity which they can mirror back to the viewer. It's the vulnerability of Humanity I am after. That is one reason for choosing very old or very young subjects. They both can portray innocence as well as extreme complexity.
Often they seem best portrayed as dolls. This can remove them one step from being so literal yet still allow the psychological weight. Perhaps that is something not noticed immediately yet allows the viewer easier access. To myself I can muse about the viewers engagement with them as dolls however It is the felt response I am after in every case.
Taken on November 4th 1961
Ex-Metropolitan Railway E Class 0-4-4T L.48 at Neasden Works, on a sunny winters day in November 1961. The loco had entered service in 1901 as Metropolitan Railway No 81, and was renumbered by London Transport to L.48 in 1933, and was withdrawn in 1963, and scrapped.. One member of the class has survived – Metropolitan No 1, which was renumbered when the A Class loco with that number was scrapped after an accident, and which later became L.44.…
The power station closed down in 1968, and the demolished remains were taken away by LT departmental freight trains to Croxley Tip – steam-hauled until 1971, and battery-electric after that..
Neasden Works is still in use today (2025) but has been substantially rebuilt..
Restored from a faded original..

A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment.

It's so great to see so many of us girls getting out shopping and enjoying being the girl we always knew we were! For some of us who are on the fence wanting to go out shopping here are some tips from my experience to help getting there!:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Prepare- Make sure you have everything ready including a route and makeup and essentials in you hand bag.
-- Dress nicely- I tend to over dress for shopping but try to look your best and wear what makes you feel feminine. Remember you might be trying on outfits so something you can get and out of yourself helps. 2 pairs of shoes too, leave one in the car so if your feet start hurting or you break a heel you have a backup pair.
-- Timing- I try to go weekdays and early. There are more women and less families, couples, and kids around.
-- Know the stores- If it's a mall I usually check out the mall map to see where the stores I like are and where to park for them.
-- Attitude- Although everyone has been nervous try to get into the mindset of being a woman. Keep saying to yourself that you are female and going to do what females love doing!
-- Going in- Don't be a lurker hiding behind clothes racks and walls, women don't do that. I suggest to immediately find something that you want to see closer. Most times you will be greeted by someone in sales so smile because it makes breaking the ice so much easier. When asked if you need any help try to gush a bit over that item you have chosen to look at closer. Saying things like "This is such a cute dress!" , " I love the colors in this!", "What sizes does this come in?" or just " I love this!" will make the sales person feel at ease and implies that you are really in tune with the feminine world you want to be included in!
-- Buying and playing dress up- It's fine to look around the whole store to see everything. When you find something you want pick it up and also gather other things you may like. Someone will eventually come over and ask if they can hold your selections and offer a try on room until you are done looking. When you decided what you want to buy tell them that you are getting this but want to look around more and they will hold it for you up front. This also confirms you are a paying customer and now frees you up to play "dress up" maybe choosing some things you would have never thought to try on! This approach works like a charm.
-- Compliments- Always give compliments to the girls working in the stores. You can ask if something they are wearing was bought in this store because you love it or maybe the girl has amazing hair or a fantastic make up job that you like. People get closer to you when you notice nice things about them!
-- Be considerate- Do not try to force yourself into something that is obviously too small for you and stretch or tear it. Also keep some folded up paper towels in your purse and use it to cover the neck area when putting on or taking off a pull over top or dress. Better yet ask them if the have a face guard and they will appreciate that you care about the merchandise.
-- Names- Always ask for their names and tell them yours, it makes it more of a intimate and cordial visit. I have had so many sales girls greet me by name on returning visits and goes a long way it showing you care about them.
-- Check out- Be pleasant and talkative while purchasing your new item. Tell them thank you for all the help or that you love the things in the store and will be back!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using these simple tips will make your shopping trips much more fun and I have noticed that if you make it fun for them and they see you having a good time it makes them feel good that they were part of your good experience. I have stopped into stores that I have purchased in just to say hello even if I wasn't going to shop in that that store that day and they appreciated that. I have also done really girlie things like getting cupcakes and bringing them into the store for them to have! One girl said that I was so nice and none of their customers ever did anything like that for them! I have also shown pictures on my phone of me out dressed in a dress or outfit that I bought for them and they loved seeing them! So get out there and enjoy yourselves!

27014 and 37114 arrive at Dingwall with 2N12 0710 Kyle - Inverness on January 29th 1985. Fun and games on the Kyle line that morning, 37114 and 27014 had earlier arrived with 2K02 0655 Inverness - Kyle. 27014 was steaming only, 37114 providing the power but because the "tip top" had no radio she was swapped at Dingwall for 37025 off the 0710 Kyle - Inverness. I did chuckle reading that 27014 "may" have got to Kyle that morning years later in some comic!!!
