Large White 2011-08-26 Pieris brassicae. This is a much much better picture (in my humble opinion) of these small white butterflies currently flitting everywhere. A slightly different species - but when they are flying, you can't tell the difference. This one is resting briefly on a sorrel leaf in our garden. I went out before it got too hot and caught this shot. Many thanks for the comments on yesterday's portrait - esp. to those of you who found the picture. It disappeared for about six hours from the 'dailies'.
Another Sage 2011-06-13 My wife has several sage plants in our garden. This one is Clary Sage. For this shot I didn't have to get down low - the blossoms were at eye height and a single leaf is larger than my hand.
