    Due to the strong breeze on the cliffs the Butterflies hardly settled, saw two Marbled Whites briefly.

                  Good morning Jiffy and Loli and thank you my friends:ThankYou::smile:

                  I never knew how hard it was to find a butterfly let alone photograph one,when I was a boy:old: they were everywhere,now I can honestly say that"there are no Butterflies on yours truly" and now it is a very sad affair and I should have done more for our butterflies a long time ago, but its never to late:smile:

                    I find it very odd that 2 or 3 months back when I least expected them my garden had quite a few Butterflies fluttering around but now not a one.Even out and about I'm not seeing any:scratch:
