The Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) rarely lands with their wings open, only showing the silvery undersides, but spectacular all the same as this one lands on a flower head.
Say Hi to my friend's dog, Holly...She is 17 a week old Doberman and is loving being a pup...
Best viewed full screen on black... Just press L on your keyboard...Thanks for looking.. :-}}}
It is berry season again - where did Summer go! I love the twist and flow of holly leaves but not the sharp spikes that reach out and scratch you as you walk past!
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

Mystery solved from yesterdays image. Holly, you will have to try harder!! I'm glad these turned out as well as I hoped as they made me chuckle while taking them. Plus I can't resist the deep colour in those ferns against the soft mist :) Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire, or my second home!
The wonderful, rare, wild Sea Holly [Eryngium Maritimum ] grows in isolated places along the coast here on stabilised sand dunes.
Its differing green coloured and white veined and edged leaves which are almost luminous, make it very attractive I think. The seed heads which are just forming will eventually turn a light purple/blue adding to its lovely appearence. These plants can survive in extremely inhospitable places and can exist with very little moisture and are salt and wind tolerant. They were originally plants of the high arid places of the World such as the Peruvian mountains and the Andes. They somehow, with many other similar plants, migrated here some 15000 years ago as their imprints have been found in Fossils from these areas. Luckily no one was building border walls then!!
Ive reported the location of this beautiful plant to the Biodiversity Dept of Trinity College, Dublin who will log its position for future study.
This plant is said to have aphrodisiac properties but others say its not true. Mind you swalowing the prickily leaves is...er... would be quite severe and Im saying no more as my throat is killing me at the moment!!! And you lot, behave yerselves!!! Lol!
Hope you like the photo.
P@t.

Aujourd’hui, je voudrais vous présenter une photographe néo-zélandaise, Holly Spring , qui est une grande artographe, si je puis dire !
Holly a récemment remporté le NZIPP/Epson Iris Portrait Creative of the Year 2014 avec les photos de sa fille. !
La fille de Holly est sa muse numéro un et c'est une petite fille très spéciale !
J'aime quand nos enfants nous poussent à faire une œuvre d'art remarquable et Holly est la preuve que l'amour maternel n'a pas de limites ...
Je suis convaincu, que les papas ont aussi des tours dans leur sac 😉
Bien à vous les artistes :D

Holly's daughter is her number one muse and she's a very special little girl !
I love when our kids push us to make a remarkable work of art and Holly is proof that motherly love has no limits...
I am convinced that dads also have tricks up their sleeves 😉
Good for you artists :D
