Butterfly pics

seen this lovely butterfly today.

 

Painted Lady, an attactive summer visitor Rosa.:gnthb:

 

thanks strongy didnt know the name of it, must tell my friend as we didnt know its name, probably the best pics ive ever got of butterflys, there was quite a few but they kept flying around and this one just stayed in one place while i was taking pics.

 

Lovely shot rosa,haven't seen any butterflies on my budd so far this year :(

 

thanks pip took these shots up the street we went to a local pub yesterday and when its nice i nip out and get pics down the street and was amazed to see the butterflys on that budd

 

10/10 for those pictures rosa.
All i`ve managed to see this year is cabbage whites!
And I`ve only got four purple sprouting!
