Icarus @ 59 # 229

The great thing about digital cameras and new phones is the immediacy of the picture after the photo opportunity. I came across this butterfly outside a Mallorcan church. It is actually a piece of stray wedding confetti and I liked the way it was sitting isolated, as if trying to escape and also the way the colour caught the sunlight. Just a passing moment in a visit to the church by the Mirador de la Victoria, which is actually a restaurant in the midst of a natural environment of dense pine trees and magnificent views of the Bay of Pollensa. Mirador de la Victoria means 'View of Victoria' and, as the name suggests it provides an amazing view over the bay - though only after a hair-raising drive up the side of the mountain. not a route to be negotiated in the dark after a glass of wine. But well worth the effort. And maybe time for a bit of Summer playing in the background:
