Spring colours, ladybird and butterfly

Spring is in her full glory now here in Cornwall

There are so many flowers out at the moment it gets quite overwhelming. Here are a few photos from the last couple of days.

The bluebells are out


and valerian


and the sunshine has brought out this ladybird, the first one I've seen this year







I saw this comma butterfly at Penrose near Helston, and there was a Peacock butterfly in the front garden yesterday



I'm off to Wales ready for Wonderwool tomorrow morning and am spending a few days away culminating in a Bob Dylan concert on Tuesday night in Cardiff!! I've loved him since I was a teenager and now at 55 will be seeing him live for the first time!

Lovely to see the Comma butterfly. It's one of my favourites. We have seen a few up north too, Orange Tip, Peacock, Cabbage Whites and I think a Gatekeeper , although it's hard to tell with fast moving, little brown butterflies! Your flowers are definitely a few weeks ahead of ours.
