We recently got permission from the farmer who owns the Ashbury "Butterfly" formation and so I wanted to share a few of my close up  shots with the Connector if you want to post them. 

We discovered some fascinating "charring" of the bent tips of several stalks of grain in both of the special "centre bouquets" that mark the middle of the formation - I have included 2 shots including one where Kallista shows off one of the most prominent charred tips with her hand. 

Also, it's interesting to note that the two "antennae" circles are nearly exact mirror-images of each other (in fact, the entire formation is a mirror image) with the "left" circle being laid down counter-clockwise whilst the "right" antenna circle is laid down clockwise.  The same is true for the larger circles at the centre-tips of the "wings".   I include close ups of the left and right "antenna" circles as those were the better photos. 

Finally, I include a close up of part of one "wing" showing the fluid and beautiful overlapping lay that typified the formation despite our not being able to go into it until after last weekend's heavy downpours because we held off until we could get the farmer's permission and paid him to go into the field.

Also important to note that we did obtain the farmer's permission to enter the field thanks to Francine Blake of the WCCSG who gave me his telephone number.
