Butterflies here in Suffolk seem to be taking advantage of the warm spells in between the wind and rain. We found a sheltered bramble bush and, as you can see, were able to enjoy these
Gatekeepers. I am halfway through
In Pursuit of Butterflies by Matthew Oates, and am on a fast learning curve. I am thoroughly enjoying all his literary allusions, too.
Lovely shots.

Wonderful and intensely seasonal photos.
ReplyDeleteI've moved from Dorset (where there are lots of brambles and butterflies) to Halifax in West Yorkshire (where there are fewer). So readers aren't confused between these radically different environments I've moved blogs too. The new blog and URL - Loose and Leafy in Halifax - https://looseandleafyinhalifax.blogspot.co.uk
