Sunday walk

A red squirrel plays hide and seek, darting up and down a tree, peeking around the corner to see if I am still there. Despite ample opportunities, its quick movements always make photographing it a challenge.

It's quite humid today and only a few butterflies to be seen, which surprises me. Maybe butterflies prefer dryer air. I noticed the other day a butterfly flying quite fast against strong gusts of wind. How is that possible? Surely the lightest breeze would normally blow a butterfly wherever the wind chose. Just one of the many mysteries of nature.
