Did see a few butterflies today as well. This teeny little fella never gave me a look at the upper wing artwork, but was amazed to zoom in close and discover a thin little edging of blue scales.
The detail in butterflies is just astounding to me. I had no idea that was happening right before our eyes.
All these butterfly shots taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro, pushed to F2.8 because I love the shallow depth of field.

When I was curating the galleries for that last blog post I kept zooming into this pic to see the blue flecks. Again and again and again. Blue flecks!
How is this magic possible, just flittering about in front of our eyes. And we ignore it every day.
The whole fuzzy jaw vibe is definitely growing on me.
Butterflies with beards (and rings).

Honestly struggling to see a downside to butterflies.

Survived a walk in the woods today. Saw a lot of very small butterflies. A few swallowtails drifted past us, but too cool to stop for a photo.

I ended up chasing a LOT of sapphires today, and got to photograph very very few. This little buddy posed on a twig for me, so that was a treat!

I love going through the photos at the end of the day and finding little gems like this that I totally forgot happened.
Another sapphire I think. I love it when you get a hint of the upper wing hues.

When the local moths are even more colourful than the dancing monks! Just in awe of these miniature moments of nature flittering past me every time I take a walk outside.
