Large White ( I think ) on Buddlea

I’ve been engaged in butterfly capture using my Olympus OM1 in the garden. I might write a bit more in the morning.  It’s already 7 mins past bed time and as I’ve been awake since 3.40 am I seem to be doing remarkably well.

And I’ve been awake for a long time this morning.  I’m not sure I’ve got my writing hat on yet.  I think I’m a bit low on dopamine. I’m not sure what’s happening to me at the moment with these very early starts to my day.

I’ve enjoyed seeing the butterflies on Dance Lane and there have been noticeably more of them as the weeks have progressed.  The lane isn’t the easiest place to photograph them, it’s narrow and some vehicles go too fast around the blind corner, so I’ve been photographing in my garden using a ‘proper’ camera.  For things like butterflies it’s so much easier than using my phone.

My walks along Dance Lane are my Mindfulness times.  A time to switch off from the everyday.  There’s always something new to see or hear or feel.
