Saw this lovely butterfly today out sunning itself so I took a photo. It did not move from that spot whilst I admired its delicate wings and furry body so I was a bit worried it would be ok. Later on though on my way back from my walk to the park I checked and it had flown off.

Not sure if it had just come out of its chrysalis or if just having a rest but for me on a day of sun after what had seemed a long winter not only in a real season turning into spring but a dark long winter in my heart, the sight of this beautiful butterfly gave me a glimmer of hope and change.
