Butterflies in the Garden

I was in the community garden today taking in a worm composting workshop, when I spotted this little fellow (gal?). It was sunning itself on a flower and fanning it's wings, and generally being gorgeous. I took over a dozen shots of it, but these are the best 4.

Enjoy!!!

Visiting in Merritt

Last week, on Jul 26th, we (Wim, Dad & I) dropped in on Sylvia in Merritt. She had invited us over to celebrate Wim's birthday, which was on Jul 25th.

She BBQ'd hamburgers for us and had made a cherry pie with cherries she had picked the week before down on the coast - yum!

Here she is at the BBQ.....
