    With a bit of time on my hands, I have been pottering around the garden. Butterflies are having a tough time here in the UK so I decided to try and hunt one down for a closer look.

    The Target

    The Bait

    The first (unwanted) visitor

    Target takes an interest

    Target soon loses interest

    Clearly, butterflies have no taste in high end watches

    Target taxis in preparation for take off

    Ralph, we are beginning to reap the benefits of you 'having more time on your hands" :~)

    Fantastic pics - I like the natural as well as man made subject matter. Thanks for sharing.

    Now of course, the trick is to clang another butterfly type against another watch type!

    Aloha Ralph -

    I took this picture last week - a butterfly taking a break with me on the Great Wall of China.

    Ah Tonny, good to have you back more regularly again - I missed your good humour and posts!

    That salmon dial is to die for!

    Thanks for posting.

    Nice picture, Ralph. And the insects seem to have some very good taste other than pollen.
