NaArMaMo Day 12

[altariel]

Now I've started, I could sit looking at the oregano all day. Only it's just started tipping down.



I think it's this. There were three of them at one point, but it was too windy and sunny to get them all in shot. I think I got my auto-focus to work this time though! Thanks, greylin!

How lovely. I must say you're a very gentle butterfly collector, compared with the pins, camphor and cabinets crowd.

Have you ever read any of the Moomin books by Tove Jansson? There is a Hemulen in them who collects moths and butterflies with the full range of deadly weapons, and I would not like to be mistaken for a Hemulen.

They're so vaguely familiar that I might have read some of them - or had them read to me - when I was little. But not read in any proper way.

I think you would love them: they have a very dry, very loving, very anarchic humour.

In the Giant HP Fic Of Doooom that I am still writing, still writing, still writing, Hermione's parents call her Little My for short.

That is adorable.

Lovely! I like the light and shade on the green leaves - such a vibrant green.

It is so beautiful here at the moment. All this rain and sunshine.

Definitely a gatekeeper. The two white dots on each wing are what always fix it for me.

Lovely photo. Why aren't they on my oregano!

:-) I wish I'd managed to get a picture of the three of them.

And the wind, which over here in East Herts is blustering about like anything. I love days like these: the wind ruffling the puddles and making them glitter, and then a heavy downpour and five minutes later the sun is shining brightly.

I love them too! Not great for airing the mattress, as I'd planned, but too refreshing to mind very much.

So NaArMaMo is clearly National Art Making Moth. :)

Oh, well done, sir!

Ooooh, greenery. So cool and pretty...

It has been beautiful here the past few days - very sunny, very windy, very fresh. Exactly my kind of summer!
