Chasing Bee's

We actually had a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly in the garden this afternoon, but of course I didn't have my camera to hand then!  We've seen very few butterflies again this year so far, which is quite troubling.  The bees were out enjoying the late afternoon sunshine as was I and I managed an hour in the garden before the sun went in again.  Earlier, I'd been adding a few things to my art/ printmaking blog.  I do it from time to time but not constantly enough and I'm still not entirely sure what I want its purpose to be.  Most of the time I do it for me, but then I think is this the best use of my time, especially as I keep this blog-journal going on Blipfoto.
