Up, up and away

I had a lovely stroll around the block this morning and bumped into close friends who were walking the other way round.

Several butterflies still darting about.  Speckled woods, large whites, commas, red admirals and small tortoiseshells, and I managed a quick blip of a grasshopper, but they are definitely on the wane.

There was a little girl with her dad on the playing field flying a kite, although she quickly got bored and went off to the playground.  Dad seemed very engrossed in flying it and I must admit to being quite mesmerised. It looks best in large.
