This one is just here to remind myself that Flickr still exists...
My job takes all my time, and my computer crashed... but I will survive !! :o)
I hope my Flickr friends are all doing great.

The holly blue butterfly in the previous shots had been remarkably calm about me taking photos, so when I'd finished, I stuck a finger under it's nose and much to my surprise it walked on and stayed there quite a while. It only flew off when I tried walking up the garden to show the wife.

Holly blue butterfly. Natural light. Not sure if it had recently emerged but it had some damage to it's hind wings which I repaired in photoshop with this shot. Focus stacked using zerene. Very rare to see a holly blue with it's wings flat out like this
