A Sunday Afternoon Walk

My mum and sister joined us for Sunday lunch and then late in the afternoon some of us went for a stroll around the quarry. The sun had finally appeared and the flowers were bathed in late afternoon sunshine. This was encouraging some of the butterflies to rest in the sunshine. Some were in better condition than others.

The orchids are in flower amongst the mare's tails.

They always make a spectacular show.

However often we see them it is always rewarding.

Farmer Daughter drove mum down to see them. It is only possible to bring a vehicle as far as the gate so a bit of careful walking was needed to get all the way to where they are.

Apparently it was worthwhile!
