This springtime, the crocus flowers have been a magnet for butterflies.

Hi Kathy ...
thanks so much ... I was lucky to have my camera handy ... and a very co-operative butterfly ! :o)
17 Mar, 2014
Too right TT. They pose for you then flit off a split second before you push the button! Or close their wings and show their camouflage. The bright bits of sunshine have tempted them out.

Added to favs and GOY nominated - cos its luvverly TT :)

Fab piccie TT ~ You had your camera ready just at the right moment!

WOW! What a great shot & so early in the year as well! I haven't seen any butterflies on my Crocuses! :-((
I saw my first butterflies of the year when we were over in Cuenca, Spain visiting friends & family during the first 12 days of the month.
The last few days on the allotments I've seen lots of butterflies - I think they were only Tortoiseshells. Seen lots of bees as well.

Thanks Beehappy, Tracey and Balcony ...
let's hope it will be a great year for butterflies :o)
