Yes, it's a butterfly bush and yes, Lydia I could have cropped it... but I was enjoying every last bit of the frame... I don't think I've ever shot a butterfly before (at least not one that looked this pretty!)

A closer crop of just the butterfly and that gorgeous purple butterfly bush would make this "sing", I think!

Lovely.
