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.

Agrimony spears.
Below, a small copper butterfly. They are rather cute and teeny.

I love your blog so much!
ReplyDeleteI remember the summer holidays seemed to go on forever, six weeks seemed like such a long time, but now it goes by in a flash!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed seeing more butterflies round this year but my attempts to photograph them never come to anything, sadly. I'm impressed you've captured so many, so beautifully.

Yes, the 6 weeks holiday always seemed so wonderfully long! I've been gloomy the entire last week bemoaning the fact it is over for another year and that I have to go back to school completely and properly but not being able to do what I usually do. Gloooom! I love seeing butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear your comments xx
