Love that blue in front of the green! Must be really tiny, so beautiful.

@Betty: Yes this butterfly is very, very, small and easily overlooked... and not very tolerant of giants with cameras!

Such a superb picture! So focused that we can see perfectly the legs and one antenna of this wonderful butterfly. The colors once again are awesome!

All at once I thought of massage in the process of which, one worked on the back of the other by fingers like the butterfly did~~~ Very fond of it.......

hey dude
man, youre good dude
this is superb
the detail on the legs, man, dude, one day these little fellas will inherit the earth duder
now in the Moomin books, theres this dude called The Hemulen and he kinda goes round inspecting flora and fauna and butterflies in detail dude...
im wonderin... did you ever travel to finland dude? i think thats where they originated... maybe you got talking to Tove Jansson and she kinda based a character around your shots dude... hey, but kinda hang on one second, man, i aint in no way suggesting that she based the physical features of The Hemulen on you dude, cos he's kinda pretty weird lookin....
dude! im digressing...
great shot duderino
way cool
20 Oct 2009 7:40pm
@The Dark Dude: Very interesting info... but I'm not sure I want to be as single minded as a Hemulen... I am going to check out those books though.
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Such a delicate little beauty. I so love that shade of blue. I think you should produce a book of butterflies. Your pictures are that good.
20 Oct 2009 7:58pm
@Marion: Thanks, Marion... actually I'm considering doing that but have other projects as well... I really appreciate the encouragement.

@The Dark Dude: Don't worry, I may not look like it but I'm still a kid.
