Perfectly posed

It was a good day for butterflies at the aquatic gardens, or maybe I should say it was good for people who wanted to photograph them.

*****

We’ve now been to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens twice in the past month after keeping away during the worst (or the previous worst) of the pandemic. In addition to them being stunningly beautiful, it’s nice to see so many people there enjoying nature.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.
