Ok!! Not the most original title but very descriptive of the photos that follow!
Small Copper butterfly taking a rest on some heather.
Pretty little butterfly above the canal in Annecy, France.

What an amazing time we’ve had walking in the Alps. I still can never resist a photo of a butterfly-so here are some Alpine butterflies…..
A Fritillary
A Common Blue ( I know it’s brown but it’s the lady so she’s brown rather than pretty blue 😩)
I’m not sure what this little chap is called!
I’m thinking this gang of red and black boys are Burnet moths…
This is the male Common Blue!
I think that’s all for now-must go and play boules!
See Ya xx
In the alps…..
There are still little critters tho……
And…
That's all!

I think this Small Copper butterfly has a chosen a beautiful bejewelled background to pose in front of!
That’s All!

These are both tiny, about the size of a chalk hill blue butterfly in the UK.
That’s All!

This week we have been asked to share a photo of something vibrant.
This I will do……
This little beauty is called the Blue Morpho for possibly obvious reasons but just look at his underside colouring……
Still vibrant but in another way!
The obligatory close up!
I was really surprised when I saw the Blue Morpho’s underside which
“is a dull brown color with many eyespots, providing camouflage against predators such as birds and insects when its wings are closed.”
I’m not sure I can agree that it is dull though!
That’s All!

The challenge this week is to portray something that gives you a feeling of optimism!
On studying this set of photos I was left with a very optimistic feeling….if the butterflies are just getting on with it, then all’s right with the world!
Meet Nanette the Large Tree Nymph Butterfly!
Nanette is having a lovely time sitting upon flowers that enhance her beauty!
Yep….I always do an extra close up!
Now it’s time to meet Neville the Large Tree Nymph Butterfly!
Lovely Neville stretching out on some rather pretty green leaves!
Obligatory close up……
….followed by an even closer close up!
What’s happening here….Oh they have met each other and…….
I think they like each other….Nanette and Neville!
Oh what a lovely pattern they are making!!!!
Saucy Nanette and Neville!
That’s All!

This week we have been asked to share a photographic “Oops!” moment!
So here’s mine….
Picture the scene…..I’m at a butterfly house, enjoying taking shots of various butterflies…..
Ah!! Mr. A.N Owl Butterfly, how that green suits you!
Then off he flies to a wall with me in hot pursuit thinking of wonderful opportunities for close ups!
Then he’s off again….where has he gone???
Hold on a minute!!
OOOOPS!!! He has chosen to land on my leg and move towards what in the UK we call my bum!!!
Cheeky!!
Cheekier!
That’s All!
See Ya xx
