It's nice to sit down for more than ten min's, we've been busy painting and I'm finding it hard work

hope fully the living room will look brighter when finished. Compared to today's weather, ( we've had rain all day.)
I was going to buy paint yesterday when I decided to go into the garden, I'd seen the Comma's arrive also the RA's and even though Iv'e loads of shots of them I couldn't resist even more.

it's then I saw this lovely large White Butterfly fly over the fence, then, I realised it was a Female Brimstone, I was so excited

It's the second time only I've had a Brimstone in the garden and this year I'd only got shot's of two, I waited patiently for it to land and when it did to my surprise it didn't land on the flowers but onto the side of an old plastic container, another surprise was the fact it looked exhausted and didn't move for over ten mins from there doing absolutely nothing but just resting.
I was hoping it wold fly onto a flower before I had to go, it did finally fly onto the Boules Mauve but only for a quick shot, then it did an unusual thing by landing on the Red Flowers ( i don't know what they're called I was given them by my neighbour ) but I'd not seen one Butterfly land on them until then
After taking nectar for a while it again rested in the middle of the flower with it's head seeming touching the petals, Ive not seen this happen before, I was beginning to wonder if it was alright has once again it stayed like that for over 15mins this time
I had to go then and it had started to rain, when I got back it had gone.
Also in the garden were two Comma's and four Admiral's which I took shots of whilst waiting for the Brimstone to move, I was pleased to get a couple of open winged shots of the Brimstone which gives you the Idea of just how laid back the Butterfly was, great for me,

She was just a bit tatty on the edge of her wing but still looked lovely in the opened wing shot.
