Painted Lady

Had been dispairing at the lack of butterflies in the garden this year when I spotted this Painted Lady on the lavender and managed to get a shot!

This is beautiful and would be just perfect for the orange challenge this week! Very delicate.

@phil_howcroft we have hardly had any this year - just the large whites. it must have been that cold wet spell we had.
