The fairies have been at work

Summer's coming and with it the butterflies. Today we saw a painted lady and a peacock butterfly. At least those are the ones in the Common British Butterflies website that look most similar to the ones we saw. The yellow and white ones we saw could have been anything.


Those aren't my photos by the way, but these are and here is a log that a butterfly was sitting on until it got bored of waiting for my camera to be ready.

And this is the mystery. A pink-painted root of an up-ended tree. Fairy work?
