Skipper and a Seedhead

Large skipper butterfly (Ochlodes venata ).

At my sister's at last, with a glass of wine and wonderful cooking smells coming out from the kitchen. My Mum was incredible this afternoon after a winter when we thought we would lose her. She was joking and chatty, and even walked with her frame to prove to me that she could. I suspect she was tired by the time I left her at the home where she receives wonderful care. The American family are on their flight home, I think we avoided the children seeing the air crash, I hope so. What a world we live in but Blip helps us to find beauty every day.
