A Late Show of Butterflies

Another lovely day to go for a walk along the south side of Hornsea Mere. The sun was warm and the morning was calm-ish so I hoped for a few butterflies, even though we are into September now, and the second day of meterological Autumn. I wasn't disappointed at all and there was a fantastic show of butterflies and dragonflies (although none of the dragonflies stayed still long enough to be photographed).

Most of the butterflies were looking very worn as they are coming to the end of their season, but the Painted Lady and the Speckled Wood still looked quite stunning.

Putting these pics together into a collage looks quite nice too.
