More bees than butterflies

Smithers and I went out to cast our votes in the General Election this morning, and that’s the most political comment you’ll ever get from me on Blipfoto. I firmly believe in keeping it a friendly, politics-free zone.

I’ve done quite a bit of dead heading and tidying in the garden this afternoon, camera at the ready, having seen a cabbage white and a brown butterfly as I worked, but because they didn’t stay still for more than one moment I was unable to get a shot of either of them.

Of all the photos I took I couldn’t find one that was particularly special, so you’ll have to make do with a collage giving the general atmosphere in the garden today. 

Oh, and the two magpies were an adult and a juvenile, who were having a bit of a spat on the bird table.
