A couple of Gatekeepers from recent trips out

A couple from recent trips to a local NR. Seem to be loads of Gatekeepers, Meadow Browns, Skippers and the odd Ringlet about, but the Meadow Browns and Ringlets are proving elusive so I've had to 'make do' with Gatekeepers. Still, it wouldn't be any fun if there weren't other things to go back and challenge yourself with would it?!

Both lovely, the first would be my pick, the backgrounds are also very dreamy, I love that look.

Thanks guys, been working on my backgrounds trying a few different things - that one in particular appeals to me too, so good to hear your thoughts on it
