Description
The alpine meadows are full of life here, flowers and bugs tell me it's high summer and it's a joy to walk through this landscape full of busyness. Among many bugs I see six-spot burnets (Zygaena filipendulae) fluttering around and when I find one sitting on a rampion it's time for me to start some macro photography.
