Summer Celebration

~ Ashley ~ 54 Comments 
July garden;
A bounty of butterflies,
Sipping nectar.

Holly Blue: Celastrina argiolus.  Large White: Pieris brassicae.

Meadow Brown: Maniola jurtina.  Peacock: Aglais io.

Small Tortoiseshell: Aglais urticae.  Small White: Pieris rapae.

Today it is raining, persistently, but yesterday between the showers I recorded all of these butterflies.  Surely, a celebration of summer, Earth’s season of plenty.

Saturday afternoon.  The sun was warm and I was trying to read my book but the wind wouldn’t let my mind settle.  In front of me on the dwarf Buddleia was a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly.  Thankfully, I had my mobile phone beside me and I was able to capture a few minutes of action.  Out of this scene came a random verse and my first (probably my only) action movie!
