TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
He runs (owns?) the small Mexican restaurant down the block from me. Too small to put many dining tables out on the street in front of the restaurant. So the main source of income during the Covid-19 pandemic is a takeout window from which they also serve drinks. Tips have always been appreciated. Now more than ever.
Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire and difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
La laguna rosa de Torrevieja, un lugar mágico y colorido, tiene su peculiar color rosa gracias a unos diminutos organismos llamados Halobacterias y a un tipo de algas muy especial, la Dunaliella salina.
Estos seres vivos microscópicos adoran los lugares muy salados, como nuestra laguna, y tienen un pigmento que les ayuda a absorber la luz solar y convertirla en energÃa. Este pigmento es el que da ese tono rosa tan bonito al agua.
La Laguna Rosa de Torrevieja no solo debe su color a las halobacterias y a las algas Dunaliella salina, sino que también alberga otro interesante habitante: la Artemia salina, un pequeño crustáceo, similar a una minúscula gamba, que se siente como en casa en aguas muy saladas.
La Artemia salina juega un papel crucial en el ecosistema de la laguna, ya que se alimenta de las microalgas y, a su vez, sirve de alimento para otros animales, como los flamencos. …
Found this male Orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) in the garden the other week.
According to "UK Butterflies": "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." www.ukbutterflies.co.uk

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
This one suddenly showed up near the path in Tentsmuir forest yesterday,my iso was too high for quality but never mind i got him anyway.
Lots of Orange Tip Butterflies in the garden yesterday on the wildflowers - thanks to #NoMowMay. They really like the Cuckoo Flowers and I noticed a bit of a commotion on this one!
Was actually reached when one more Bearded Tit landed on this reed stem, which bent it fully horizontal. It was amusing to watch as one by one they jumped onto this stem (the tallest in the area) and it then slowly bent under their weight.
Managed to get most of the flock in shot as they showed off on top of the reeds. 6 males and 7 females.
Taken in darkest Norfolk.
Lots of Orange Tip butterflies on the wing along the River Orwell and Chantry Cut in Ipswich today! Most were pretty flighty but I managed some shots of this pair who were otherwise occupied!
Orange-tip butterflies (Anthocharis cardamines) are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. Adults lay their eggs on garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.
The male orange-tip is unmistakeable. It is a white butterfly with half of its forewing being a bold orange colour, and with light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.
Orange-tips are found across the UK, but are scarcer in the north of Scotland.
Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, eating their own eggshell when they emerge and moving on to eat other orange-tip eggs nearby. The caterpillars pupate in July and overwinter as a pupa, emerging as butterflies the following spring.

This is one of a number of photos that I took for a web site that I designed for a local horse stable. I used this one on the Contact page .... Tipper... this happy dog always greets me when I arrive.

It was not a photo that I planned for the site, but when I saw him there looking down the lane, I took the shot... later decided to use it.

These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
Der tagtägliche Einsatz vor internationalen KLV-Zügen wirkt sich zwangsläufig auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild der Lokomotiven aus. Der Mehrsystem-Vectron 193 257-3 der European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) wurde vor wenigen Jahren noch von der SBB Cargo International genutzt und steht aktuell im Dienst von TX Logistik. Im vorliegenden Bild passiert DGS 43140 aus Verona Q. E. den Eßlinger Tunnel auf dem Weg nach Lübeck Skandinavienkai.
The daily use in front of international intermodal trains inevitably has an impact on the external appearance of the locomotives. The multi-system Vectron 193 257-3 from European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) was used by SBB Cargo International a few years ago and is currently in service for TX Logistik. In this picture, DGS 43140 from Verona Q. E. passes the Eßlinger Tunnel on the way to Lübeck Skandinavienkai.
When the sun decided to shine,albeit a short time,it didn't take long for these little beauties to appear. A gorgeous male Orange Tip.
Back Garden - not the most obliging with its positioning (it was fine when it landed, but moved position before I had locked focus)
A tipping lantern was a type of small navigational aid popular in Denmark in the 18th century and before. It consisted of a basket in which wood or coal was set; this was then burned. The basket was affixed to a lever that allowed it to be manipulated as required.
Generally it was viewed as ineffective, as it produced little light and was usually unreliable.
This is a replica build in 1934 and it's situated in Verdens Ende (The worlds End) in Norway
I like that we keep being reminded of the past.
We can learn from the past
