Orange tip butterfly

There are at least two orange tips battling it out for ownership of our garden. I hardly ever see them settle because they're always sparring, so catching one perched fleetingly on an iris leaf was a rare pleasure.

How lucky you are.

Yes. Having the time to wait patiently for the chance to take a photo of a flitting butterfly is indeed a luxury. I'm trying to savour it as much as possible, because I won't be going on maternity leave again.
