Summer 2018 is extremely hot. We had a very long period of drought. Hence we have very poor yields of cereals and vegetables. But they gave birth to fruits and berries. We are beginning of August, and the harvest is coming to an end. Temperatures are often above 30 degrees and nights are also very warm. It is difficult to go outside during the day. I think, however, after 10 August the weather will be more conducive to our well-being. There is no desire to photograph nature, unless just before sunset.

   It seems to be a common butterfly. I saw a lot of photos of this butterfly on the internet. I never saw him in my near and distant area. Here, yesterday, almost before sunset at the edge of the forest, I met him. It was just Black-veined white (Aporia crataegi). He sat calmly prepared for the night. I think the picture was fine. I’m very happy about it. I only met one more butterfly on a dry blade of grass. We have quite a serious period of drought and the number of butterflies encountered is very limited.
