Catching butterflies

It's been a lovely sunny weekend and guess what I got up to? Catching butterflies. Inspired by the buzzing in the meadows, butterflies were not an easy catch. It seems that these little creatures are very sensitive to noticing attention, as soon as I focused the camera they were off again.

Urban idyll

In summer the canal transforms into a poetic idyll and it is hard to imagine that this is still part of London and that taking some steps to your right you are back on the streets, near the shops and in the middle of an urban neighbourhood.
