Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
Nettle I know only too well - oouch!!! The red, symmetrical and itchy circles stay on my arms and legs for weeks!!!! Most likely allergic reaction... gggrrr
The most beautiful of the three Graces is a very good excuse for showing this monster among plants!
I will email you one butterfly pic asking you to tell me if this is the same Grace, please.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Wow, what a great macro! That's quite a hairy butterfly!
We don't have that variety here, but we have a similar one (with less hair!) called Painted Lady or Vanessa cardui from the same family and it eats thistles.
