From a palm tree that produces small coconut like fruit. The trunk and fronds are covered with these thorns. They are up to six inches long and extremely sharp. The theme "tip" for today's Looking Close on Friday group inspired this photo.
A male orange-tip butterfly warming up his wings at Coombe Hill Canal & Meadows nature reserve in Gloucestershire. This was one of about ten seen on this visit in late April.

Because they find prey using the sensitive tips of their bills, and not just eyesight, Willets can feed both during the day and at night.
I've censored the exact location, so as not to tip off the succulent-thieves.
Color is as true-to-life as I could make it. The cold weather seems to bring out the reds, and this was an unusually bright one. It will bloom soon, an early one. Most of them don't bloom until late May or June.
This is likely Dudleya x cymosa. These are notoriously hard to ID to species, as they hybridize!
Individual rosettes for this one are palm size. These plants range from babies an inch or two across, to old timers a foot or more per rosette, and commonly cluster like this one.

Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
On an errand today I had the feeling it might be worth taking the camera. Just as I was about to head back I saw this little beauty resting up on some brambles.
Despite the blown out areas I do like taking shots of these backlit as the orange just glows.

In feeling inadequate, what amazes me...I am still used in a purpose beyond my understanding....grace has carried me to shores that I could have never imagined. Tripping along...but still moving...the internal push...to flow forward...to arrive somewhere...and to be amazed. Broken and bruised but love made me whole.
