Flutterbys

Walking along the lane recently I couldn't help but notice all the little cream and brown coloured butterflies flitting in and out of the ferns.


I stopped so long to photograph them that the SP & Fleur got tired of waiting and walked on, leaving me behind to snap away.

I was fascinated by the markings on their wings and the way the sunlight dappled on them creating shadow and contrast.


Perhaps it was the wild honeysuckle threading it's way through the undergrowth that was so attractive to them?


Getting back in the car I was amazed to see how high the mais is now, high as an elephant's eye!
