Oh you lucky so and so.
1- I'm jealous
2- what a great opportunity to get this rare blue together with the bug perfectly sharp!
Sorry it is not a bug it's a soldier beetle
Like the composition and detail in this one Ed, super image,
Fred.
Beautiful butterfly beautifully taken Ed.
Kindest regards.

Sorry, Ed, but that beetle does look like a hotdog that's been a bit charred on one end
Don't suppose butterflies eat hotdogs, though.
Just wondered...do you live where you do because of the butterflies, or did your interest come about because you realised you were surrounded by them?

Are you referring to the big ginger pussy known as the Tomcat by any chance?!
Many thanks for all your comments and clicks, they are much appreciated, Ed
