Hello there little blue one.
I start to think that the smaller the butterfly is, the harder it is to shoot. And not because it is smaller. But because they are get spooked so easily and just keep flying and moving around. I see the bigger ones on flowers around and they seem so slow and lazy comparing to this one.
I spent good half an hour looking like a crazy person trying to shoot this Small Blue Butterfly that was feeding on our raspberry flowers. He wasn't interested in any other blooms around. I guess those are his favourite.
The wings look like the have lace on the edges. Stripy antennas and big black eyes. Adorable creature!
It was checking flower after flower often coming back to the same one. But almost constantly on the move!
Sometimes trying to be less visible...
And the it flew off.
For good this time.

That cute little blue butterfly seemed to be playfully toying with your camera lens and not at all minding the attention!
Wonderful images! @ewkaw🦋🌿
He was adorable! But wouldn't let me get too close.
Thank you Nina :)
I have the same problem with the tiny birds... they just don't stand still! Great photos! 😉
Tiny birds are impossible for me!

Ostatnie zdjęcie z tym pszczołem świetne!!! Zazdroszczę cierpliwości.🤗
Dzięki! Przczół pozazdrościł chyba :D
Wow :D I don't I've seen this type of butterfly before. The last photo is cool, a little extra action ^^
They are really small (compared to other butterflies) and really shy. Not like the bumblebees. They just get everywhere :D
Hahha, I haven't seen a bumblebee in way too long :O They were always so funny
I agree they do spook easily. But you managed some great shots.
Thanks a lot :)
Beautiful shots of this dainty butterfly!
Thank you :)
