Broken wings

“Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free”

A lovely warm day and after visiting the allotment and caravan park, we sat outside with my wife’s sister and had a fine chat.
I saw this peacock butterfly flitting about from flower to flower.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a damaged butterfly but I’m delighted to say that her lack of wing power didn’t seem to affect her.
But how did it happen I wonder!
The aftermath of a predator attack!
Damage suffered when metamorphosing in the cocoon!
The result of hibernation!
Whatever, I’m hopeful that she will survive
This  is the title song, although I’m not really a fan of it!
