TEXTURE

A structure of interwoven fibres or other elements.

The fuzziness of a Speckled Wood butterfly.

Suz said...: Ah,texture. Very important in life, also. In the garden essential. But I have never thought about texture when it comes to butterfly wings...what a fool I have been....of course.
I will from here on take note.; 8 November 2009 23:59

Simone said...: The butterfly in the photo looks velvety and I suppose that velvet does have a fuzzy quality to it! x; 9 November 2009 09:32
Rosezilla said...: They always look so soft, when I was young I wanted to pet them. But someone told me that was bad for them, so I had to content myself with looking.; 10 November 2009 17:02
Lori at Jarvis House said...: You were so lucky to see any butterflies at all. Here on Long Island, we had very few of them this summer. I thought it might be the unusually rainy weather, but I do not know. Seems to me that Global warming should be re-examined. It was cool all summer, here, and they say the winter will be on the colder side too. did we have a butterfly die off?; 11 November 2009 18:24

THE FLOWERS - ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

SPARROWHAWK ...

I have seen many a sparrowhawk playing at being remarkably agile in my garden this year, but not until today had I had the opportunity to view it at such close range, what a fascinating bird, it had decided to perch for at least five minutes on my back fence, spending the time very carefully observing its surroundings, then suddenly it took me by surprise and suddenly flew off at a sharp angle low into a lilac tree, I could hear the other birds were taken by surprise too, whether it got its catch I don’t know, that was the last I saw of it.
