I just had a new patio installed last week, and this morning noticed a butterfly I hadn't ever seen in my garden before. It was more active than a skipper, so when it alit on the patio, I quickly got down on my hands and knees to photograph it. In this shot, you can see that it apparently found something in the mortar tasty.
