[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First in a series of butterfly posts from my visit to the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo at Symonds Yat.
In a summer which was mainly rain in the UK my holiday this year took in parts of the West Country. Having two small children I needed to find places to take them that would (a) keep them amused and (b) be dry, and we found the butterfly zoo an amazing place to visit : the children wandered around looking for butterflys, caterpillar's and eggs (my son here with a magnifying glass )whilst I wandered around trying to capture the butterflys in all their glory.

PP Work - fixed a slightly ragged wing (with clone tool), adjust levels (it was a dull day), crop, resize, USM (25%) and added the border.

If anyone knows what species this one is please let me know.
