Butterflies

They are lovely Cinders, the leaf shaped one is amazing.

What a great place to visit,Cinders..I love the two tone blue one,and the black and white one..is that your hand with the stick insect ? ..just the place for a wet day..and plants as well ! joy.:o)

what a beautiful Blog Cinders, sounds like you had a really nice day out, your photo's are fantastic, no frost here, just pouring with rain,

Thanks girls. Annella it was amazing, I couldnt believe it was a butterfly, would have liked to see it open up..

Sandra we went there as the forecast was for wet, but in fact it didnt until on the way home. It is not my hand but my friend Alan's. This stick insect somehow got onto my coat and Alan took it off.

Thanks Yorks, really enjoyed it. No frost here either today.

Now thats a good outing, a bit of everything Cinders, your pics are lovely, butterfly's do tend to wait until you focus and then flutter away, lol, thank goodness we have our digitals.
Pleased you enjoyed your day out...

Lovely pics, Cinders.
Such pretty butterflies. :o)

Thank you Lincs, some of them just didnt stop fluttering.

Thank you Terra, apparently they only live two or three weeks, sad really.

Looks a great place to visit Cinders,great pictures, I'd love to take a trip there,a craft village too,my sort of place,bit too far away though:-(.
Was just going to say the same as Annella the leaf shaped butterflies amazing!!!! certainly great camouflage.

Yes I couldnt help thinking that I had walked past a lot of them and not seen them.

oh aren't they lovely, i found it really difficult to get the photos ~ lens misted up, butterflies never still....
a craft village too ~ how lovely.

Lovely photos. x

Thanks Sticki, yes it was lovely.

Many thanks Jem.

:-)

Lovely photos lots of differant ones to look at, loved the meerkat photo, sounds like you had a lovely day out.

Thanks Clarice, the meerkats were so busy digging I couldnt get them to stand up, and the battery in my camera went so I couldnt take any more.

At least you managed to get one, think there so cute :)))

They are cute.

They sure are :))

Ohh if I'd known I would have come with you! lol

Keep thinking about visiting there! Lovely photos - well done!

What amazing photos love that blue butterfly, and what a good disguise pretending to be a leaf!! a day out to treasure......

Wow Cinders - some amazing shots - well done!

Oh Pita what a shame, but I didnt know I was going until the day. Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks DD, fantastic disguises weren't they.

Thank you Sheila

magic! my kind of place Cinders. I know what you mean about trying to photograph butterflies, challenge & a half that!
Secret confession, I am nuts about guinea-pigs, the most endearing of creatures & a far better pet for kids ( & adults) than rabbits.

Glad you liked it Bampy, and I like guinea pigs as well.

Sounds like a brilliant day out :o)

It was Hywel

"ohh maybe next time!" :D x

Thanks San. It was a very interesting day. Glad to hear you are feeling a little better today
