The Butterfly Park

This is the park that attracts the butterflies. It is divided into different “rooms”.
The pink-blue-white room seemed to be the most popular this past weekend.

How many butterflies do you see in the last picture?

Mosaic Monday: More Butterflies

Butterflies, flutterbyes… All of a sudden there were a lot of them in the park.
Common Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock Butterflies.

For bigger pictures of the butterflies, see my Sunday and Saturday posts.

Flutterbyes

Last year I came across a few different kinds of colourful butterflies in the late summer, and also managed to get quite good macro shots of them. So this summer I have expectantly kept going to what I last year came to call my “butterfly park”, hoping to have the same luck. But no. The only butterfly I keep seeing this summer is this white one, which on top of all very rarely sits still for more than a second. (When I say “it”, I do of course mean “they”, but I have rarely seen more than one at a time even of these.) As far as I’ve been able to determine, from the few and rather blurry pictures that I finally managed to get, it must be a Cabbage butterfly or Large White  - Lat. Pieris brassicae – Swedish: Kålfjäril.

Maybe it’s not too late yet, though? When looking up my butterfly photos from last year, I notice that some of them weren’t actually taken until early September.
