This year's spring butterflies.

All of these were photographed (by me) in my small suburban garden.

I wanted to post this to show that #biodiversity does still exist. With all the climate doom & gloom in the news it sometimes feels really hopeless. Like a battle we've already lost.

But the butterflies are still here. So are the bees & other vital pollinators. It's not too late to protect them.

Gardens don't have to be expensive or elaborate to provide them a home. What matters is that we create space for #pollinators in our landscaped lives. Just adding a few flowers can make all the difference & help ensure these lovely creatures continue to survive.

It's worth the effort. I promise.

Thanks for reading this. 💚
