Chasing Butterflies



Out in the garden, with its freshly mowned lawn in the early morning, I noticed the perennial sweet pea growing at the back of the buddleia,  had been ramping along the bed, escaped from its mooring to the trellis, but still able to produce flowers for the house.  The light, early morning, is gently different. 

But I wasn't the only creature chasing butterflies, the little cat, who had slept the night under the old hawthorn in the churchyard was also at play. I am so grateful that the buddleia is attracting many butterflies, we watched them, me with my camera, and luckily Green eyes was unsuccessful in her hunting.



Always suspicious, but I am the one that feeds her and am always greeted with miaows when she sees me come into the garden to let the bantams out.

  1. Cute. That inquisitive cat certainly is looking for some game time.

  4. Cats know who feeds them. My cat escorts me to the bowl. Of course, we live alone.

  5. I am going to answer all the comments in one. There is a dilemma over Green Eyes, she is so happy in her small life, escorting the bantams around, living in the churchyard. But what happens if I move away, I will probably have to get the Cats Protection League to capture her/him for spaying and then what?

    1. She is very sweet but totally independent (except for food of course)
