Flying Time

has returned with the butterflies.

Today's specimens, three skippers, flitted in The Lemon Fair garden.

Glanced fleetingly on the wing, I see stocky brown butterflies. Up close, however, they reveal a scruffy grunge-band look with bad hair, patchy skin, sleepy eyes.

When one lit on my shirt for a few minutes, I took advantage of my opportunity for extended study.

What a surprise to find such a comical character lurking beyond the flying.
