Not many of these this year! (the butterfly not the dandelion, worse luck.)

BOO, its me :) lovely shot..

beautiful...

LOL...thanks Jane. I seem to have trouble taking properly focused shots...I blame the camera a lot but I think it also may be my aging eyesight! The first year here we had clouds of these beautiful butterflies, this year I think I saw two. We had a very cold May and extreme weather all over the continent...sadly I haven't seen a monarch yet!

that is sad, not seen many butterflies at all this year!!!!

Is it a Swallow Tail ,Norfolk is one of the few breeding grounds for them in England , I'm not positive about It must look in my book !

I especially love the white admiral butterfly...but only saw one single little fellow...dancing through the garden on his way to somewhere. Why are there so few butterflies this year?
