yesterday, whilst driving back from the alps, we saw this amazing looking butterfly.
i've never seen one quite like this before (even though we get loads with vaguely similar colourings/markings) and so thought you lot might like to have a look.
and.....
brilliant - no?
then, when we were nearing home and stopped to pick up some food, we saw another one injured on the floor.
we considered putting it out of it's misery but instead i picked it up and bent it's wing back into position (it was bent/stuck underneath itself at a funny angle). when i placed it back down it immediately fluttered around and then flew off - my good deed for the day was done!
we're having a lazy day of lounging, eating and enjoying the insanely hot weather today (it was 37 degrees c in the valley yesterday) before we enter a month and a bit period of continuous visitors (starting this evening!).
ok, the outdoors calls, later!
gairy.
