butterfly day

Sunny and cool and, after not seeing any butterflies for a few weeks, today I saw 4 different ones in the garden. This beautiful Red Admiral was the only one who posed for me though. The leaves it’s on are new growth from the ox-eye daisies that I’m currently moving to other areas in the garden. At the moment they’ve taken over almost all of my raised flower bed. They don’t mind being moved though. Started yet another painting for the firescreen I’m renovating this afternoon - this will be the fourth!
