I am repeating the photo from last Monday. I particularly like this one given that butterflies are just so scarce this year. I will have a new pic up for tomorrow.
Photo was taken yesterday at Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)
The Sedum comes into full flower during September. It attracts bumblebees, honeybees and butterflies and is a great addition to any garden at this time of year. There have been few butterflies in our gardens this year. Yesterday at lunchtime the sun came out for a short time before the rain rolled in later. But this one butterfly swooped onto the Sedum flower and gave me enough time to grab the camera for our photo today!

Thought For Week
‘A Reflection called ‘Needed men and women of character’ ~Author Unknown
The world needs men and women who cannot be bought; whose word is their bond; who put character above wealth; who possess opinions and a strong will; who are larger than their vocations; who do not hesitate to take risks and who will not lose their individuality in a crowd.
The world needs men and women who will be as honest in small affairs as in greater; who will make no compromise with wrong; whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires; who will not say they do it “because everybody else does it”; who are true to their friends through good and bad, in adversity as well as in prosperity.
The world needs men and women who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hard headedness are the best qualities for winning success; who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular and who can say “no” with emphasis, although the rest of the world says “yes”.
The world needs men and women who are willing to say “I believe”, who are not afraid to say that their faith in a loving God is important to them and who are happy to say that it makes a difference in their life.
