That is lovely FB I spotted a couple on mine today, but they were flitting about, not quite warm enough for them to settle for long I reckon, and it was a bit windy so the stems were rocking quite violently. x Tig |

It has been so wet and windy here for days now, I hardly expected to see much 'in flight' activity. But the sun briefly came out and look what else did!! ;D  and just as I moved in to get a close-up ... look   OH prefers this photo, you decide   x Tig |

I'm with OH on the prefered pic. It is very nice. Butterflies are really scarce by me this season. Even with the butterflybush in bloom.  |

On the subject of man things , I've learned so much since joining this forum, one of them being to practice my photography. I see all your beautiful pics on here and get encouraged to try harder. I was quite pleased with this one as a first attempt at a butterfly.  Then OH appeared and took this.  On with the practice then (next lesson lighting) i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif Jillyx |

Well done Jilly!! I think they are smashing photos I thought I was quite lucky this morning when I spotted this basking on the butternut squash leaves, a very speckled Speckled Wood ..  Then I was even more blessed when this beauty landed just as I was going to put the camera back in the house - Red Admiral   x Tig |
