Beautiful butterfly

In the garden this morning, this Red Admiral butterfly sat on the lawn for some minutes, unmoving, wings spread. 

It stayed still just long enough for me to take its photo and then it flew away.

The birds and the bees

Last week it was pictures of the birds and the bees and this week it's a butterfly in our garden. Still a disappointing lack of ladybirds though.
