at first i think i am quite alone
yet as i work away in the garden,
these tiny creatures i find 
delicately cloaked ermine moths
I am Ruthie, a pictorial storyteller painting tales of country ways, olden days, folklore, myth and magic, surrounded by beauty here in South West Scotland.
Hello Ruthie
ReplyDeleteyour shots are beautiful... and I love to think that we are constantly accompanied by these treasures but we usually don't see them...
I am learning to keep my eyes open wide...
It looks like a purple bouganvillea petal in your first shot...
Happy days
A veritable Beatrix Potter story inside your own garden! Wonderful photographs. And how appropriately named is the Ermine Moth!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you!
Your ermine moth is lovely. Moths really have a special beauty all their own, I think.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
I love that moth! Wouldn't his wings look great on a fairy gown? Kat
ReplyDeletePerfect. The moth is pure royalty. Ruthie, you may know about this artist's work, if not visit my friend Barbara Helen Burger:
