happiness is like a butterfly

I didn't get out so much on Sunday, but there were butterflies all over various bits of ground on the wander I did do. This is a Painted Lady, rather battered and missing half a wing. To my joy it fed on these thistles for quite a while and I got a few shots I'm happy with

Three good things about Sunday:
1. the new to me laptop I'm using is now set up and caught up with posting photos (and processing the ones from the Guide camp)
2. I saw and photographed butterflies
3. Really mad but fun chat in Tesco's with my fellow vultures - all about planes

Thank you so much for all the support, comments and favs on the those pictures I've flooded your feeds with, these two are it and I'm up to date to yesterday. You are all amazing and I am trying to catch up through your feeds too. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thank you individually below, so if you've commented I will catch up with your pictures.
Beautiful shot and great composition, gorgeous colours too.

A butterfly who has seen life - I think tattered beauties are the best:)
