Mono Monday - A New Beginning - mm116

Went on a lovely walk today with TheAphid and saw a few butterflies, birds including the ducklings! Lots more on Flickr if you fancy a look.

We saw another tatty Peacock butterfly near the dam, or maybe it was the same one I blipped last week? I've chosen it for this week's Mono Monday theme of 'A New Beginning', because although this butterfly is at the end of its lifecycle, it will hopefully mate and ultimately give rise to the next generation that will emerge at the end of July.
I've added the colour version to extras.

Thanks davidc for hosting this month. Other entries found here.
