Back to Summer

Just to beat the London winter blues, I thought I'd put up a few shots of British butterflies as a sort of nostalgic glimpse of last summer.

Jos and I are off to Belize in Central America later in the week to spend one week on a coral atoll and a week in the jungle, so the butterflies should be more dramatic in the next posting. Hope you enjoy these native beauties though!
