I've noticed a lot of painted lady butterflies here on the Findhorn Hinterland in recent days - I photographed these ones feeding on green alkanet (Pentaglottis sempervirens) yesterday.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Yesterday happened & there’s nothing you can do to change it now
Let it stay where it belongs
In the past, don’t carry its weight into today
Move forward, knowing that new moments & new beginnings are still waiting for you

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen.

15 Dec: The holly “bears its crown” in December. Its snow-white late-spring flowers ripen into the bright red berries we associate with #Christmas, making it one of this month’s birth flowers. In folklore, holly is linked with immortality, life, rebirth, and the #WinterSolstice.

One for my wish list! Thanks @Ravilious1942 😊

A bird can lose up to 10 per cent of its body weight during just one cold night. Offering a variety of foods is one way to help garden birds survive during the winter.

Millions of older people aren't receiving the vital support they're entitled to.

It's always worth checking that the older people you care about aren't missing out on money that could make a difference.

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Kindness is free.
Go on and sprinkle that stuff everywhere.
A smile, a gentle word, a tiny moment of patience , it all adds up to something bigger than we realise.

Be kind
