‘… flowers that fly and all but sing’
~ from ‘Blue-butterfly Day’, a poem by Robert Frost
These are some of the ‘flowers’ that have been flying around me this week, causing my heart to sing.
Comma, one of three seen on Tuesday’s walk
Green-veined white
Large skipper, a butterfly with attitude
Meadow brown, from a count of 54 in a single meadow
Speckled wood
I love commas. There’s such a contrast between how they look depending on whether their wings are open or closed.

Yes, indeed. Such great camouflage when their wings are closed.

What a range of flutters you have there. All we have is rain and high winds.

I was lucky to find some sheltered spots. We’ve also had strong winds over the past couple of days, and some much-needed rain.
