Tortoiseshell butterfly

I awoke to the sound of raindrops on the window this morning and it was dark and dreary outside.  Luckily it cleared by the time I was due to go to G's Harvest Festival in school.   Out of around 200 children G was last to appear in the main hall and it was a good thing I saw him then as I didn't see him at all after that!   I had parents sat in front of me who were taller and G was hidden behind other children on stage, even though he's tall for his age.  Never mind, next year! 

When I arrived home I spotted this butterfly in amongst chippings on the drive.  

Don't think I'll be going to Camera Club tonight still not feeling 100%.
