Tortoiseshell

Today has been a true summer's day, blue sky and sunshine, wonderful.........spent a while following this tortoiseshell butterfly as it visited the flowers time and time again, drinking in the nectar.

Thanks so much for all the comments and stars for yesterday's silly Saturday shot........the captions were all brilliant and made me laugh, my gold star goes to 60plus for her comment which made me laugh out loud "for goodness sake, somebody just give me a pin.....now"
