Warming up


What a difference a sunny day makes. Not only humans but also the wildlife seemed to be rejoicing in the sun and its warmth this morning. I caught this brown butterfly on a blackberry leaf sunning itself. It is a common butterfly in our area, called a Little Wood Satyr. They feed on bird droppings and rotting fruit. The blackberries are beginning to ripen, which probably explains its presence where I found it.
