Surprise

Another post and not about events a week or more in the past..!! Yes, surprise indeed.


Also about a surprise for me.

You see, there's been a big influx of Painted Lady butterflies recently - not entirely surprising with the winds blowing them up from Africa [along with the continent-wide heatwave!] - and so I naturally didn't expect to see any here. Certainly not here here. And definitely not one that would not only strike a pose, but let me take pictures...!!!!

Yet, behold;

"Quit the snark -

you'd be a lot tattier if you'd

just flown from Africa!"

Natural concrete camo

Fierce-looking!

So, having actually got something half decent and with camera still in hand, I wandered about looking for anything else taking a breather.

A Snout - maybe even Paignton??

Brindled Pug

Of course the spider gets the good one!

Even more posting is on the way. Oh deary deary me, what a standard to set...
