Male Orange Tip butterfly hiding in the box hedging at Little Morton Hall (Tudor hall and moat). Not the clearest of macro shots...a tad breezy! But I just had to put this 'first of the Orange Tips' on for you to see :)
Below is a shot of this fabulous little butterfly with its wings closed...such beauty! :)))
Many thanks for all your comments, faves and visits...lovely to hear from you,
Jeannie :)
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.
This is a male Orang-tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) feeding on a perennial Wallflower.
The day previous to the taking of this photograph, I had been out and seen a couple of these flitting about, but frustratingly I had not been able to get close enough to get any shots. The following morning I went out into my garden to feed the birds, and there was this one sat on the flowers. I ran inside, mounted my Sigma 150mm macro onto my D300 and was fortunate enough to grab a few shots before it disappeared. I had never seen one near my home before, so this was a pleasant surprise :)
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead :)
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!
This is a pretty self-explanatory picture; these are the tips of several Crayola crayons.
I've owned these crayons for a few years now, so as you can see, most of them have been used, while a few others are in brand new condition.
This picture was taken as part of an assignment on color for my photography class.

#DSC01071
Ela sempre quis ser mais alta, só um pouquinho mais. Apesar de estar beirando os 19 anos, ainda tem esperanças de, quem sabe, arredondar a altura a meros 1,60m. Enquanto isso, precisará ficar nas pontas de seus pés para enxergar o que há além daquela pessoa alta que não sai da frente, para conseguir sair naquela foto em grupo quando só conseguiu um lugar ao fundo até, quem sabe, decidir usar saltos.
She always wanted to be taller, just a little bit more taller. Even if she is already heading to nineteen years old, there's still hope that, who knows, rouding her height to mere 1,60m. She'll need to get on her tip toes to see what is beyond that really tall person in front of her, to appear in that picture when she only managed to get a place where no one can see her until, who knows, she decides to wear heels.
Saw this a while back now , 10/04/2019 in fact and it was at Warnham Nature Reserve . At the time I was not aware of the type of butterfly but have now read up and it seems it is a herald of spring - so always good to see !
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. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements.
Anthocharis cardamines ssp. cardamines
The species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758) as shown here (type locality: Sweden). The nominate subspecies has not been recorded in the British Isles.
Anthocharis cardamines ssp. britannica
This subspecies was first defined in Verity (1908) (type locality: England).
This subspecies is found throughout the British Isles, with the exception of Ireland and the Isle of Man. Williams (1916) disagrees with a particular aspect of the definition: "The extension of the black apical markings to the anal angle, however, is surely not so common in British specimens as to justify its use as a character differentiating British from continental specimens. I have only two specimens agreeing exactly with the description".

I was half-way to work when I heard 271 get a track warrant out of Nahant and knowing there was still water over the rail, I doubled back to take a look. The water receeded enough to allow running through without much fear of getting water in the traction motors which was just fine by me!

This 1988 Hino tipper was owned by a Dunstable haulier; it was last licensed in August 1999. Snapped, I think, off Victoria Street in March 1994.

Hull Strawberries
Use a straw to hull strawberries (it’s fate!). Press a straw through the bottom of a strawberry until it breaks through the top and takes the hull—the white part of the center of the berry—with it. Remove any remaining leaves with your fingers.

Back Garden - "sods law" - all the days I've spent over the last couple of weeks sitting ready with the camera, only to see these guys fly through without stopping, today I was actually doing something, (I was dismantling an old garden bench for renovation) my hands were covered in WD-40 and rust, when my wife told me an Orange-tip had just landed - a quick dash indoors to wash my hands, and luckily he was still on the dandelion seed head, I managed a couple of shots but as I was moving to a better position he left. Hopefully there will be more chances.
This was one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993. It's not listed in the programme of the event, but it's a 1924 Thornycroft BX Tipper, and an entry in the 1995 programme of the event gives this information:
Thornycroft BX Tipper, 1924 TC9816
Entered by W.H Bowker Limited, Bamber Bridge, Preston
This vehicle was fitted with hydraulic tipping gear and was originally fitted with solid tyres and converted to pneumatic tyres during the 1930's. Withdrawn from service around 1960 and was restored in 1992 and is now finished in the correct period livery of William Bowker Ltd.
