'Speckled Wood'

We were sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine this afternoon..when I suddenly spotted this beautiful Butterfly on the top of our Elaeagnus shrub. The problem was...I had to dash indoors to get my camera and P set up a ladder for ME to climb up onto the top rung as the tree is about seven foot high. It stayed still for ages just basking in the sun....luckily for me. A Speckled Wood Butterfly...stunning!

Had a good laugh at Line Dance class this morning..still learning a new dance called 'Shotgun Mambo' A few hiccups but I think we all got there in the end. Well done to Ros..our teacher.
