Snooty Admiral

Red admiral head tilted back and antennae pointed forward, and proboscis extended upwards, the butterfly looks hilariously aristocratic.

If asked about colours, I would say pink is not one of my favourite colours 🤔 nor yellow, but the blush of this antirrhinum with yellow highlights makes me smile every time I look at it ☺️

A close-up of a pale pink double antirrhinum spike. Each flower has a pale yellow centre.

Glad you're fettling along well Bill 👍 Hope your Yucca is okay this morning; I got up to see our buddleia bush has been uprooted in the night. Presumably wind 🤷‍♀️

Rage: a state of intense violent anger. Characterized by a temporary loss of self-control. Often manifests physically through shouting, aggression, or a fight-or-response, and metaphorically to describe wild, uncontrollable forces like a fire or storm #ThursdayGate

Gale force winds on the north coast of Scotland. Huge waves crash over a pier. There is a metal gate in the right corner.

#Thursgate

A narrow path through woodland above Loch Alsh. The dappled sunlight casts the shadows of slim birch trunks on the path leading to a rustic gate.

Here have a frog the first I've ever seen in our garden. We've had tadpoles so knew there were some around but this is my only sighting

I really happy to see it back again Justin. Also drumroll: the greater butterfly orchid is back for the 2nd year. Still tight buds though. I'm a tad worried that the cowslips are becoming quite densely packed 😬
