Flutterby

I spotted this beautiful creature on the way upstairs to my flat the other day.  How pretty is he/she basking in the afternoon sunshine?  This was a totally impromptu composition captured by the camera on my phone. 

What you don't see is me balancing on the steps, struggling to keep my handbag, library books and bags of shopping out of shot.  Hey, we naturally gifted photographers have many obstacles to overcome in the pursuit of the perfect picture!
