Daylesford butterfly

I had a day off work today, so we went for a drive to Daylesford, a spa town about 2 hours drive north-west of Melbourne. We spotted butterflies feasting on these flowers, so I took stacks of photos, but this one came out by far the best... SOOC too :)

@cocorose Daylesford is lovely - we go there about once a month for a day out. I found out today that two of our favourite haunts (Chocolate Mill and Himalaya Bakery) are both for sale though :( I hope whoever buys them keeps things as they are! There are lots of great shops and a nice lake to walk around too - definitely go and visit!
