White-tipped Dove was another Texas specialty I wanted to find on my research trips there over the last couple months.
There was some sun when I set off for my usual walk and I saw a few butterflies on the roadside as I headed for the reserve. However by the time I got there it was overcast, so I headed back.
This was one of those seen - all were either female orange tips or other whites.
It's a hot & steamy August 1981 day in Gilman, IL as TP&W C424 #800 switches in town.

One of the 'new' Royal Navy Agusta-Westland Merlins seemingly 'tips a wink' to an outgoing Commando HC.4 as they take the salute from the crowd during after participating in the RNAS Yeovilton's annual Air Day's set-piece 'Airfield Assault'.
Most of the HC.4's have been retired - sold off for spares and scrap to be replaced by the larger and more capable ex RAF Merlin which have a door both sides of the cabin along with a rear loading ramp.
The incredible sight and sound of these huge helicopters in such close proximity certainly brings home what it must be like to be at the 'sharp' end of Royal Marine operations!
Fantastic!

Seems I can get some good tips from this, and so can many of our tranny peers! View and save this poster in full-size for best effect. Pass this along!
Of course, you can eyeball an accomplished and elegant poser at Ashley Ann's page!

The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland
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.
Hello my flickr friends and a rather splendid butterfly today from one of my walks. taken at the banks Fordon
Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.
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.
A freshly-laid, 1.1mm high orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines) egg on cuckoo flower. Not spotted by me, and photographed by many on the day. This is hand-held, and I was on the point of asphyxiation by the time I'd got a sharp shot - I tend to hold my breath!
