The first photo is a 'spot the butterfly' challenge - I never did manage a decent photo because I nearly ended up flat on my back when someone thought they would talk to Gosh while my attention was the butterfly he has been sitting behind me being a good boy. He regretted his choices when she then spent 10 minutes giving us her life story and delayed his exploring time.
