Oh the other hand when I downloaded the day’s photos, I got a nice surprise. I spent the morning in Franceses with my friends, Helen and Theresa. On the way there, I finally took the time to walk on the new bridge at Los Sauces. It’s true, you get a much better view that way. Here’s the shadow of the bridge on the valley beneath.

And I had another session hunting butterflies in my friends’ garden. Why do they flutter around like that? All butterflies do it, so I suppose it must have some evolutionary advantage, but you’d think it was a tremendous waste of calories. And it drives phtographers nuts – this one at least. But I was pleased with this shot, even if it is a common-as-muck cabbage white on a perfectly ordinary thistle.
