I was out stalking blues yesterday, such flighty little butterflies, but I managed a few captures, and rather liked V.1, with the butterfly appearing to be gazing out into the blue sky.
Have a great weekend.

Coming in late, but joining others with their accolades for these pictures, Carol. V1 is outstanding, and as you say, the butterfly is looking out into the distance, fantastic dof achieving this.
