Shade

I needed the shade of the vine-covered shelter over the table in our garden at lunchtime today. I made the occasional sortie to help LoJ pick another 7 kilos of apricots (it's our tree's best year ever!) and to try to capture a swallowtail butterfly on the lavender, but mostly I was content to stay out of the sun and wait for something to come to me, like this brimstone butterfly with its lovely leaf-shaped wings.
