Blues

Standing in the homestead pasture, I saw a small petal floating past me.





But, it was not a petal…it was a Blue; probably the smallest butterfly I had ever seen.  I am guessing this butterfly is about one-half inch in size.


Notice the blue of the upper side of the Blue on the right....


As I followed the Blue, it joined others lighting along a damp spot on the ground.  I had to get down to a hands and knees position to get a better look…so tiny and such a delicate color. 


Notice the white fringe detail along the edges of the wings...



The close-up look was worth my effort.
