Meadow Brown

Once again today it is coolish with strong winds and some rain, a cardigan needed when I went to feed my other cats.
 
My hopes where not high when I walked around the garden looking for a picture that I would get any of bees or butterflies. I went looking around the pond at the Water Mint flowers in the hope that I might find a Mint Moth. Then just as I was about to give up and go back indoors, this Meadow Brown made a fleeting appearance.
 
I spent much of the morning sorting out photographs and other indoor jobs as well as speaking with my daughter who telephoned from Mexico.
