12/08/2017 Roadside photos

Maximum temperature 23C, minimum 11C.   6 km/h NW wind with 19 km/h gusts.  Dry.
Blackberries.

Unknown still trying to identify...

if you can help please let me know...

also unknown.

Chestnuts.

Our friends cat that I am looking after, a contortionist it seems!...

 This one is my favourite, so affectionate...

as above.

Horses over the road.

I suspect this is a flower in the mallow family but again uncertain.  Plus fly.

Again uncertain, but  think this is a Meadow Brown.

A sheltie watching me through a gate.

Fields of daisies.

Maize as far as the eye can see...

maize cobs.

For those that might be interested, I have started my blog on our South African holiday earlier this year.

      Many thanks Linda, you and I both love animals, it is good to look after these cats as I miss not having our own animals anymore. Take care Diane

    The corn is as high as the proverbial elephant's eye!

      The maize is good this year but I have never seen crops as good as we used to grow in Rhodesian days, Sadly Now I hate to think what the farming is like!!!!! Cheers Diane

    Your macros are always so crisp and clear Diana, enjoyed today and yesterday's images very much. Sorry I can be of no use re identifying the butterflies I'm hopeless in that area ☺

      I have established the butterfly is a fritillary with lots of searching but I cannot identify further!! Take care and have a good week Diane
