I have been missing in action - painting holiday cards. :)

I'll do my best to catch up in the next few days!

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.

I photographed this little Palm Warbler last week during Spring migration at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.

Another slide restoration from the 1990s, this one showing the waste from slate mining in Wales.

Today of course, such waste is a valuable asset with many uses.

Anthocharis cardamines (OrangeTip) is a small butterfly belonging to the Pieridae family. They emerge in early April. The males can be easily recognized by the orange tips of their wings which the females don't possess. They can be found throughout Europe and temperate Asia as far as China.
