Colours!

Sometimes even the bright colours of a red admiral pale against the flower it chooses to feed upon, but nothing can outshine the magnificence of....

....a painted lady, this one back in our garden after a couple of days' absence.

The undersides are often more spectacular and intricate than the top sides in many butterflies. It is lovely to see your local examples.

The Memory Wanderer

I'm at the wrong end of the road, a short distance to look forward to and a long way travelled, so I spend more time looking back, enjoying the memories, and less time in anticipation of the way ahead. The road trodden has been a good one, a rich and winding one, over which I hold no regrets. There is much still to do - only the end of the track ahead intimidates.

Time is mine now, so I remember, sometimes deliberately, sitting in the warm sunshine, sometimes because my mind, as if keen to help, suddenly gives me a flash of memory, a vivid picture which, like an exploding rocket, illuminates a moment in life; and then fades.

I have seen its dark side but, in general, the world has been kind to me. I have few regrets, I have many blessings, so these thoughts are offered as a celebration of a fortunate life.
