A spring tidy tips flower.
This photographs takes me back just a few months to this past April, when a wetter-than-normal winter produced a spectacular wildflower bloom all over California. The state's late-winter and spring transition is always special, but in these wet years it can astound. Places that are dry and brown most of the year are magically transformed — with fields of lush grasses and wildflowers everywhere.
In early April we made a weeklong trip to some of these typically dry areas to photograph the brief display. We spent a couple of days in the hills located roughly between the coast and the Central Valley. As we headed east, into increasingly drier climates, we stopped at one remarkable valley carpeted with wildflowers, the place where I made this photograph.

This musical phenomenon comes to Theatr Clwyd for the first time thanks to Tip Top Productions.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s Book Of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. “Prologue – Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” additional material written by Trevor Nunn and Richard Stilgoe; ”Memory” additional material written by Trevor Nunn.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year—the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories to Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. Among the candidates are the aging theatre cat, Gus; the rocker, Rum Tum Tugger; and the once-glamorous Grizabella, now but a faded memory of her former self.
Boasting a score that includes Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats, Mr. Mistoffelees and Memory, this compelling fable takes audiences to a fantastical world that can only exist in the theatre. Cats has been performed worldwide and translated into over 20 languages. The original West End production ran for 21 years and the original Broadway production ran for 18 years

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 :)
Organised criminal gangs are being blamed for the continued rise of large fly- tipping incidents across England.
Fackenden Down Nature reserve - visit to try for Dingy Skippers (thanks John for the tip)
Whilst looking for Dingys, came accross this female resting on the cow parsley. (if I had known there was an Adder very close by I don't think I would have taken so many images - ignorance is bliss!)
Happy Friday's Flower Power.

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.

Cape Agulhas, "Cape of the Needles" is a rocky headland in Western Cape, South Africa.
It is the geographic southern tip of the African continent and the beginning of the dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans according to the International Hydrographic Organization.
Historically, the cape has been known to sailors as a major hazard on the traditional clipper route. It is sometimes regarded as one of the great capes. It was most commonly known in English as Cape L'Agulhas until the 20th century. The town of L'Agulhas is located near to the cape.
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.
