It seemed content to hang out there, so I took went inside for my camera. When I returned, it had obligingly stayed put. It took a few minutes before it opened up its wings. Not the most spectacular colors, but a nice pattern on the wings. If you look close on the right wing, you can see a ragged edge.
As long as I already had my camera, I thought I'd take some pictures of what's blooming in the yard.
The raspberries are coming along nicely. I've picked a couple, and they were quite tasty. In a week or so, there will be good picking.
Elsewhere in the backyard, there are two varieties of lavender.
This kind . . .
This kind . . .
And this kind . . .
Over by the fence, some poppies and pansies appeared on their own. I don't know where the pansies came from, but the some poppy seeds may have made their way over there from some I had in a pot last year.
I had never notice before, that the bloom pushes the green bud casing off the end.
Also, peonies . . .
And roses . . .
There is also this flowering shrub, but I don't know what it is.
