Gatekeeper butterfly, burdock leaves, common fleabane: 12th August 2010
A walk beside Flixton Marshes in Suffolk, the butterflies danced around us like demented fairies, the flowers unveiled their faces… and the sun bore down on us.

Indeed. I do find they often tag along when I take the camera for a walk. Could it be, these little godlets might have an attraction for cameras?

That may indeed be the case…. or maybe, just maybe the holder of the camera is the one who calls them…

The yellows are great. But for me it was the stark shadows of the burdock stalks and the leaves

I’ll chime in with the others — great colors in this one, with the yellow of the flower matching the butterfly, and the sun giving yellow highlights to the stems and leaves.
