Small tortoiseshell butterfly

Write blog... do social media for work...train journey (swapping seats with a little girl and her mum who were scared from being sat too near to a friendly but very big dog)... go to lunch meeting... go to second meeting... miss train.... later-than planned- train journey... 2 hours filming interviews...

Arrive home, sit in the garden for 10 minutes and watch butterflies in the sunshine.. recharging before heading out again for family meal. Hooray for butterflies!

This little fella is mottled and dull brown looking underneath - but I like how you can see the brighter orange colours and spotted pattern from its top side showing through the wing in the light. And you can see its proboscis in action too, which I didn't see til I'd loaded them onto the Mac.
