A few butterflies
Wednesday, August 19, 2020
I remember the school summer holidays as hot; the endless sunny days stretched out in a pleasing fashion. These days the break seems much more turbulent and often not hot at all. Is it just my memory playing tricks on me, I wonder? As well as the obligatory trips to see relatives and sometimes seeing a friend, I do remember the weekly trips to the library where I would take out the maximum permitted books and take them home to read. There was a lot of reading.
Here's some pictures from earlier in the month. Above a comma, below a ringlet butterfly.
Below, a brimstone butterfly on knapweed.
Above, a cinnebar moth caterpillar on ragwort I think.
Below, common toadflax.
Harebells in the grass...
Agrimony spears.
Another ringlet and below, a gatekeeper.
Plenty of St John's Wort.
Below, a small copper butterfly. They are rather cute and teeny.
I've seen such a lot of peacocks this year. And finally yesterday a painted lady visited our garden.
Take care,
Sophie
