Common Blue - male

soooooo beautiful....thank you for sharing....

That's a wonderful photo :o)

Wow......what a beauty.....gone on to faves it must be amazing to see these in your wild garden..........

Wow Ilex What a beautiful photo.......

you ve captured the blue and wonderfully.

I was really lucky with this one actually....you'd think a bright blue butterfly would be easy to spot against a largely green background, but once they land and close their wings they disappear! This was the one and only shot I managed to get of a male blue in the garden that day - this one took flight immediately afterwards - and luckily it came out really nicely!

You were lucky then :o)
