Adonis is back in SD form. ^_^ I repainted my Feeple 60 Chloe to be a boy, and I think I'll keep the head like this.
On the top of this funerary monument dating from the 3rd Century BC depicts Adonis. Gored by a wild boar in his left thigh during a hunt, he is said to have died in the arms of the goddess Aphrodite as she wept.

Rodborough common, Gloucestershire..........I think we just managed to capture some shots, as they seem to be at there end and some were a bit tatty around the wings, a very interesting place.

Once considered a weed of cornfields, the Pheasant's-eye was nearly wiped out by intensive agricultural practices. Today, it can be found in deliberately seeded areas, and on roadside verges and waste ground.
Once considered a weed of arable fields, the development of intensive agricultural practices nearly wiped out the Pheasant's-eye in the wild. This delicate, wine-red flower is now most likely to occur as a part of intentional wildflower seeding, or as the result of the disturbance of soil containing old seed banks. Its strongholds remain roadside verges, scrub, waste ground and farmland, but it is sensitive to herbicides and requires calcium-rich soils to thrive. It flowers from June to August, often alongside other 'arable weeds' (also called 'cornfield flowers') such as Corn Chamomile and Corncockle.
The seeds of Pheasant's-eye, like many arable weeds, are able to remain dormant in the soil for a long time, until conditions become suitable again, for example, through the clearing of woodland or disturbance of soil during road construction.

A return visit to Queendown Warren - looking for the autumn ladies tresses. And this time, we found them - plus masses of gorgeous butterflies. Never quite manage to capture the electric blue of these stunning adonis blues, but they are unmistakable !
