Butterfly

Last night we had some rain. Some, not enough. This morning newspaper wrote plainly "The Netherlands, warmest place in Europe". Don't know if we have to feel happy, let be lucky?! Long warm, dry wheather is also rather harmful.

There was not so much sunshine. A bit about lunchtime. It was then I spotted a butterfly flutter around till it sat on a piece of stone in the grass. I lay in the grass and waited ... waited ... but it didn't unfold it's wings.

At last I took this picture, before it fluttered again and away ... ;)

I think - but change it for a determination more expertised - it's a speckled wood or, the official name, Pararge aegeria tircis.
