In the garden

This speckled wood butterfly came in to the garden this morning. Friends Toni and Charles are going to a wedding today so we're looking after their labrador, Wanda. I thought Toni, aka Horace, looked nice for the do so I snapped her, using a Sigma lens I've just acquired.

I caught a bit of the Eng v NZ match at their house, still a lot to do before next year's world cup. It's a bit dismal just now if you're an English sports fan - drubbed in the Ashes down under, out of the soccer world cup and losers at rugby in New Zealand. I'm going to be British again for Wimbledon. At least we still have Andy Murray - for the time being.
