Sorry, can't show the purple tip, its on the inside, although with butterflies its called the upper side.

As I was driving back to Anchroage from Seward I saw this mountain top. What grabbed my attention were the crisp sharp lines and angles of the snow on the mountain top.
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.

An old picture. I really liked the contrast between the shapes of the tips and the shadows on the background. Hope you'll like it!

'A CLOSER LOOK AT A FEW OF THE FLOWERS.'
I used selective focus to get detail of several small flowers at the top of this BTO spike.
If viewed large, you can see a pollinia stuck to the outside of one flower's cowl - the work of a visiting invertebrate! It adds a bit more interest, although I didn't notice it until viewing the image on the computer.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
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.

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.
A contribution to the Paris climate agreement.
I think, if nothing changes or things get worse, many will pay a high price.

Image taken at the Stonebow Washlands in Charnwood. Orange - tips in our area have been plentiful so far this year and it was a bonus to catch the Male and Female together.
I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.
I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !
After years of trying and being frustrated that they were always to fast, I finally managed to get a decent shot of an Orange tip. Stoked! Arnhem, Netherlands
No comments, please. I'm writing to anyone who might act about our global warming and climate change. We decided not to have progeny, but innocent wildlife suffers.
I hope you'll join me.

One from last year, keep seeing them go through garden but they do not stop. Will we get out in time to photograph these this year I wonder. Taken late evening with the low sun back lighting the butterfly and a little fill flash on front of subject. Kingcombe Meadows, Dorset.
Rusty-tipped page (Siproeta epaphus) or brown siproeta, is a New World butterfly that lives all year in tropical habitats. Seen at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Butterfly Jungle
What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.
