Photograph taken at Ness Botanic Gardens on The Wirral, last summer of a cabbage white butterfly resting on some verbena. The sunlight shines through its wings. Though one is torn, it is still perfect to me. It was a hot day and the garden was full of butterflies, bees and flowers. Lovely place to visit if you're over that neck of the woods.
