Soon to be soaked as I will make some sort of soup with all the fresh veggies that are around us right now.
practicing taking macro shots with my cellphone in pro mode! Decent detail but I need to get a mini-tripod to steady the shot better.

I chose the spicy brown mustard for this week's theme. Started this project late in the evening and then had to wait for the mustard to get some chill to it in the freezer so it would hold its shape a bit. Good time for some Black Grape and a cold brew.

Happy Macro Monday!
Western pygmy blue (Brephidium exilis)
A wingspan of 12-20 mm makes this the smallest butterfly in North America and one of the very smallest in the world. Shown here on one of its hostplants (atriplex semibaccata) at the Don Edwards NWR at Alviso California.
I have a sharper image of a butterfly of this species at www.flickr.com/photos/25673579@N04/28730652937/in/datepos... but yesterday I could not find one in ideal light, and the only one I found more than 8" [20 cm] off the ground flew off when I approached.
