Red Admiral

[Anne Kilmer]

Basking in the unaccustomed sunlight, on the toolshed roof. I know
you're not collecting Ireland sightings, but I couldn't resist ... 
other than that, a quantity of green-veined whites and a couple of
speckled woods. 
Everything is blooming and fat bumblebees with their fluffy britches
bulging out of the columbines. I thought of Liz Day, who is fond of
bumblebees. 
We have had three very hot sunshiny days, and a major bloom of
butterflies. Very nice. 
Vanessa atalanta, Pieris napi, Pararge aegeria.
