Orange tips

First butterfly shot of the year. Two orange tips mating on a ladies smock flower. The male has orange tips to the wings that you can just see on the left, the female does not but they both have this lovely green pattern on the underside of the wings. Worth looking in large to see their eyes.

A better day than expected and the sun was very warm when it appeared. I took some photos of the bluebells in the wood behind the house and some around the village and along the canal. It was good to be out and about
