Butterflies

The husband was in the garden the other evening and couldn't help noticing how many butterflies there were. So he took some pictures and thought you'd like to see them.
 


 





The butterflies were so 'drunk' on nectar that they even came and sat on his hand.









I suppose it won't be long until the butterflies are gone from our gardens for another year.

All the best until the next time.

  3. Beautiful Gillian! I love butterflies. We've had "drunk" bumblebees all around our lavender hedge but no butterflies.Cx

  8. Such beautiful pictures. I have tried to photograph our butterflies but I have to get too close to them with my little camera and that scares them. Yours are lovely. And so are the "flutter-bys."

  9. Hi Gillian! Thanks for the lovely photos, so pretty! I've noticed quite a few more butterflies around here, must be the slightly warmer weather returning!
    Wishing you a happy week!
