View from the Window - August

There is the beginnings of an autumnal feel now, although the photos don't yet reflect it:

25 Things in 2025 - Thing #18

Take part in the Big Butterfly Count

The UK big butterfly count ran from 18 July to 10 August and I posted my count three or four times each week.  I made a point of going for a walk down by the canal at least twice a week, plus spotting them in the garden and in other places I was visiting.

I didn't see that many different butterflies, but regularly saw the same species.  So I spotted Large Whites, Speckled Woods, Gatekeepers, Meadow Browns, Red Admirals and a Ringlet.

Taking photos of butterflies is difficult but here's a Gatekeeper and a Meadow Brown:

   

I also spotted Water Boatmen and a Dragonfly:

   

Although the main count is over, numbers can still be uploaded until the end of August, so I shall be continuing to spot butterflies.

Writing Banners

Although I write a monthly writing post, I rarely manage to include any banners I have earned at the time.  Last month I earned three, and, since it seems a shame not to credit the creators, here they are:

Firstly, [personal profile] melagan ran a Dust Off Your Plot Bunny challenge.  This was the perfect opportunity to write a follow up to Hilary Term 1920 and to take another look at life after WWI: Summer at Bag End   Both are Hobbit (Jackson movies) AUs





Then [community profile] allbingo ran the Winterfest in July challenge.  For the last few years I've been writing another instalment in my Spooks AU Love in All Seasons series and this year's A Slightly Different Christmas was the next.  Delightful banner by [personal profile] kiramaru7

And lastly there was [community profile] whatif_au Bingo  All nine squares are in the series WhatIf AU 2025 bingo  Banner made by [personal profile] brumeier who runs the community and helps provide me with ideas.
