flutterbyes




sometimes, just occasionally




when you take a cup of tea into the garden in search of a quiet moment



you have to back into the house in search of a camera



and you find yourself so mesmerized that you actually forget to drink your tea.............

  8. Me too. I'm always getting distracted by the mini-beasts in the garden and then finding tepid drinks. Absolutely gorgeous photos.

  11. Great photos and yes, how wonderful to just stop and look and listen for a while and enjoy the moment. Bet you're busy this week with the school routine but hope you manage to find some moments too.

  12. Its so apt that something so lovely has a special name "Flutterbye" and its favourite place, the Buddleia, is known as the "butterfly bush".

  13. What a difference a week makes, today is so cold and miserable I can barely remember summer now. I love your photos, can almost smell that buddleia in fact, but I think any self respecting butterfly will be long gone now. And thanks for your comment on my recent post, things are finally looking up. Phew. xox

  15. I know what you mean, these little guys have captivated us too. We run outside, watch them, then run back inside trying to remember the details of their beauty, doing a search online to find out their names. Doodling their colors. I think a butterfly field guide is a must for the future.
