I suspect it could have been on the rock just next to us, it was amazing to watch it spread its wings RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! The wings and the antennae were just the creamiest shade, like the color of wheat. Richard took a photo of me all bent over looking at that butterfly and I am at such an angle, it's a wonder I didn't tumble off the mountain. Bowled over by a butterfly, that's me!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-11309242776480286342012-02-22T17:59:25.941-05:002012-02-22T17:59:25.941-05:00Dear Audrey,

I hadn't noticed the mis-spellings (miss-pellings, or whatever) of Scriptor. But then it's not unknown for me to do it myself. <br /><br />When the butterfly emerges from it's hrysals ;s wings are all tightly rolled up. Gradually it pumps blood into them to make them spread out. Yours was obviously newly emerged and will have become as beautiful as the link one after a while.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-60263736729799627412012-02-21T21:42:56.446-05:002012-02-21T21:42:56.446-05:00What a lovely, lovely place and I love your photos...What a lovely, lovely place and I love your photos!!!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901253574307836440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-16632399638566709762012-02-21T20:34:36.689-05:002012-02-21T20:34:36.689-05:00Whatever Castle Grounds you were walking around, I...Whatever Castle Grounds you were walking around, I would love to see them!

Ask John and I am sure he will be able to put some pictures on your blog. If I remember rightly he has some really lovely ones. I would love to put some on to show you the places I walk but I am not sure how to do it. Will find out from his brother when he returns from New Zealand in May! <br /><br />Happy walking PatSpesh 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044378302911602273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-17249411664177273862012-02-21T07:18:25.083-05:002012-02-21T07:18:25.083-05:00What a fabulous day Kay, sometimes we have to be o...What a fabulous day Kay, sometimes we have to be our own weatherman - or we wouldn't go anywhere if we took every forecast to heart.
