 The sun finally decided to come out today and the wind to drop and we immediately had some butterfly visitors so I decided to complete a productive Big Butterfly Count.

Acer Autumn

 Outside our back door we grow an acer in a large pot.  It gives us pleasure throughout the year but it looks particularly stunning for a few days in autumn.  It is late to take on the mantle of autumn and when it does it is only for a brief period but even when the leaves are dropped they form a carpet of reds, gold, yellow, orange and bronze.
