Ringlet ~ 2

It is lovely and warm and sunny here again today, so I popped out for 20 minutes onto the meadow to see what I could find.

The wild flowers and hedgerows are alive with Meadow Browns, Small Skippers, Ringlets and Gatekeepers.

I got some lovely Gatekeeper shots, but they will have to keep for another day, because I was very taken with this lovely but slightly ragged Ringlet.

[Laura Latham]

love the yellows! I'm off out to see if I can find a butterfly too!

[Pippa]

BEAUTIFUL! And wow, am I impressed with your butterfly knowledge. =)

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

What a bright shot! Nicely captured butterfly :)

[ShanneW]

the colours are wonderful, great shot of that ringlet - and yes, that's pretty much what I'm seeing here in the way of butterflies too - when I can get out

[Sean O'Neill]

@lauralatham Good luck Laura, I look forward to seeing what you spot.

[Sean O'Neill]

@pippajeanne Thank you Pippa, I am a butterfly anorak I am afraid!

[Sean O'Neill]

@ozziehoffy Thanks Cassandra.

[Sean O'Neill]

@shannew Many thanks. I saw a Small Blue yesterday, but totally the wrong time of day to shoot it, just a flash of blue as it flew past me. I envy @runningbk his Silver Studded,Chalkhill and Adonis Blues.

[Danny G.]

Lovely yellow tones and colors - great light and bokeh, a feast for the eyes.

[Simply Amanda]

Excellent shot and tones, Sean!!

[ShanneW]

As the gas man hath cometh I can go out and try and get some pictures of butterflies! It's clouding up here now though.

[Sean O'Neill]

@soboy5 @amandalomonaco Thanks Danny and Amanda, I was pleased enough for my intended shot not to get posted today!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@shannew Good luck Have just chased a Holly Blue around the garden, would he open his wings for me!! Grrrr.

I love the yellow glow in this shot.

[Pat Knowles]

I can feel the heat from here ...rain again today!

[Laura Latham]

@seanoneill only gatekeepers by the tonne, the moth/butterfly again (was it a skipper?) and lots of white ones that didn't keep still! Putting a couple in my other stuff album.
