Captivated by the cabbage white

I went to Holland Park this afternoon for some clean air.

A lot of the flowers had been ravaged by the heat and storms over the past couple of days. 

The jewel shining through was the lavender, giving the humid afternoon air a light perfume.

Cabbage white butterflies fluttered between buds gathering their nectar. Hard to capture this was the best shot in an hour's work.

( P.S. My litmus paper arrived and I tested the rain water collecting outside my window. Surprisingly it was pH neutral).
