Peacock on Water Mint (FF & WFW)

We had a look at Upton House this afternoon where the sun definitely had his hat on which brought out the insects despite the breeze.  I took the macro lens in the hope of finding something for Wild Flower Week and Flower Friday so this water mint appealed, and a peacock butterfly decided to join in too.  Not the easiest to get a reasonable view without my shadow intruding, avoiding falling in to the pool, and/or the flower moving in the breeze, but I liked this main blip the most.

In the extras, one with a hoverfly joining in too, and a mono light and shade image from the woodland area.

Hope everyone else is having a good Friday and finding some good blip subjects.

Thanks to Biker Bear and Miranda1008 for hosting.
