The Battered Butterfly

The sun was shining on our walk this morning, and in my pocket I had my compact camera.
I am not over fond of this camera as I have a difficulty being creative with it.
But I had it in case as I was thinking the sunshine might not last long, and I will be regretting not taking something in the morning.
This butterfly was just warming itself up in the morning sun - looking very battered - I wonder if it will last the winter?
It is a bit the way I am feeling at the moment - but I think I will last the winter!!

Had lunch with 2 lovely friends, which brightened the day up.
