The speckled wood


I absolutely love this little butterfly. We get quite a few appear in the garden in summer. They love the hedgerows in my garden, and become quite territorial about their space. When approached by another butterfly they do the most beautiful dance, going round and round, up and up, higher and higher until one disappears into the distance. Contest over, stunningly beautiful, an absolute and total joy. Its been a fab day, blue skies, and a bit cold. Planted two spring flowering clematis today, my little grand daughter helped me. Peaceful it was. Quote unquote: Bugs are not going to inherit the earth. They own it now. So we might as well make peace with the landlord.
