Butterflies

The summer in Finland was a so-called 'summer of the century'. It was very dry and hot - global warming according to some, normal weather fluctuations according to others. Your correspondent was not complaining much, although the dry weather did have a rather bad effect on the garden.

One positive effect was, however, that it was a wonderful summer for butterflies. For your enjoyment, a few photos.

Not having any Lepidoptera experts, Elk's Street has no idea what butterflies these are but we enjoyed all the butterflies throughout the summer.
