Poser

I stopped to take some photos of a field of poppies but was distracted by this very cooperative butterfly, which settled on a daisy and was happy to turn this way and that (extras) and hold the pose while I held the camera within inches of it. I chose this one because you can actually see its spiralled proboscis -- amazing detail from the little Sony. See also furriness in the first extra. I reckon it's a plebeius argus. For Flower Friday, with all my good wishes for BikerBear and husband.

Our first concert this evening was a bit curate's-eggish. Some parts were good, but in others there were some very basic errors (some people can't count to three apparently ...) -- but I'm sure they went unnoticed in the friendly acoustic of the church. Anyway, it will concentrate minds for the next one.
