Yes, you do rather want to take one home with you. They grow up quite fast though!

I'm allowing myself to assume it was a happy connection - otherwise they might not have put it on display, S.

Thank you. Strangely, I keep hoping to bump into another but usually only see a rapidly disappearing flash of white that may or may not be this one!

🙏

Thanks Audrey - I've got so many butterflies on hand, I think I'll still be posting them in winter...

And very obliging of it to sit up there while I fumbled with my gear!

Thank you, Nicole..

Yes, I wondered too. I wasn't sure if the brush belonged to a mother who liked being reminded of her baby, or was perhaps a gift to a baby for use as an adult. There are sadder possibilities, too...

What a fab beetle!

I mean, some people will post anything to get on #BirdoftheDay....

For this week's #PalacesandGardens, here's a rather beautiful memory of #childhood - set on the handle of a hairbrush - displayed among other keepsakes at the Chateau de Serrant in the Loire Valley, France.

A year ago I posted a snap of a newly-hatched pink flamingo taken into care at a bird clinic run by a nearby sanctuary. I went back last week and sure enough... For the #YourChoice theme of #BirdoftheDay by @alan678.bsky.social #photography #birds

Wow, that's a beauty. Well done!

You do realise that's the Wicked Witch of the North in feline form, trying to trick you into her hovel?

My butterfly cup runneth over this summer - so many gorgeous creatures and it sometimes seems they are lining up to be photographed. Here's a Tower of Flowers from last week with a Clouded Yellow on the top floor. #InsectThursday #lepidoptera

Morning Rob, you’re looking very perky for this early hour. I’ll refrain from posting a picture of my bleary eyes struggling to open…

Nice catch and I hear what you're saying about missing colours!

This ones from my American files, HJ - hasten to Florida, you'll see lots of them!

A splash of colour in a French van decorated for Bastille Day earlier this month is my entry for today's #WindowsonWednesday #aofoto

I'm sadly lacking in #Multicolour birds for #BirdoftheDay by @robcrank68.bsky.social but I think this Green Heron just about counts, with those yellow facemarks livening up the grey and brown. #photography #birds
