Spot's best friend, Meg Anna H, who is six tomorrow. Happy birthday from the six der's

gatekeeper

this pretty little butterfly is a hedge brown or gatekeeper. As a rule they are attracted to bramble blossoms. The sun has brought out butterflies in great numbers.

willowherb

all of the willowherb family are out, this is the invasive rosebay.
