Butterflies in Malawi

These are the Butterflies I saw and photographed as I walked along the banks of the River Shire at N’gona Lodge, Malawi last year.  I am now home from Malawi and Zambia from my trip this year but only for a little while until I go to Costa Rica however I am hoping to get caught up on your blogs as I have missed seeing and hearing what you all have been up to.  




Can you tell the leaves from the Butterfly?



I am home again,(just) I nearly missed my last plane as I fell asleep waiting for the plane and they could not find me at Heathrow!  

Many thanks for your visit and also to all those people who leave comments.

  1. How I love butterflies. Some day I will get to a butterfly farm...
    You must have been so very tired. And I suspect you still are. Rest while you can.

  5. Welcome home, Margaret. I had a chuckle thinking you fell asleep and they were unable to find you at Heathrow. However, I'm glad you made it! I love the butterfly shots. I really struggle to get good photos of these creatures. Blessings Jo
