I looked outside into my garden, admired the Bellis that is growing beautifully... And saw this...
 |
| A stunning Red Admiral... The beige crispy bit is the butterfly's cocoon, stuck on it's wing. I helped it out as it was stuck. The rest of it's wing looks really mangled...but it might just be that it was crumpled funny, inside the cocoon.. |
 |
| Look at this little dude's face! So cute! It sat on my hands for ages, trying to gain strength to fly. |
 |
| We both feel the same here i think... |
 |
| Pure beauty... |
 |
| My favourite photo of all... |
 |
| I placed him high up on the side of the shed in the sun, so he could keep warm and away from cats...!! ZIG... |

| The bit of cocoon that was left on the wing... |
 |
| I thought about how I could help give some strength to the butterfly and put some jam near where it was resting. It started to suck the sugar and I could see dew drops of sweetness going into it's mouth. He is still sat on the shed licking the jam with his curly tongue. Such a beautiful moment this afternoon, when I needed it the most... x |
