29 C....

Really hot today - 29 C when I was out for a little while with my camera this afternoon. It felt very warm this morning & so did some cardio indoors in lieu of a walk. I'm very good at putting things off & for some reason, I decided that today was the day to do a big chop in the garden when it was in full sun. Not the best idea, but chop number 1 is done.

Large view, as always, is better.

The bramble flowers that were blooming last week are now spent. I went in search (in the car + aircon) for know buddleia places. This is where I found this beautiful peacock butterfly.

One of the last remaining curlew up here in the extras.
