Hairstreaks are tiny little butterflies and quite challenging to photograph. They don't stay still for long. When feeding they go from blossom to blossom and you end up chasing them all over. I was fortunate enough to catch this one resting on a leaf. My second ever red-banded hairstreak was a beauty. I like how the colors & patterns on the legs match the antennae.

We were delighted to see some very tiny Red-eared Slider turtles sunning themselves on lily pads while we were walking around Mill Lake in Abbotsford, British Columbia. (24-06-19-2093)

Goldcrest, the smallest bird of Europe. He's really small and tiny.

A tiny kitty, looking up into my face!

After doing some research I believe these are Cinnabar Chanterelle (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) mushrooms. They are just tiny little things - only about 1/2" (1.27cm) tall - if they weren't so colorful I would have missed them all together.

I love nature's surprises!

Walked around the corner to be greeted by this yapping little ball of cute anger. The owner walked out of his stall, looked at me taking photos of it, then stared down at it in bewilderment, shrugged his shoulders and walked back.

The name of this tiny Jumping Spider, Cosmophasis micarioides, refers to the scales on the surface of the body reflecting different colours when viewed from different angles www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=2583 I found this in the garden of a former home several years ago but took a while to track down a name for it.

Sincere thanks for your dropping by to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia!

Paint the Moon week 16/52

Theme: Tiny

This week's theme is tiny. Hail and flurries today so I opted to stay inside. This is a macro shot of tiny beads of water on my indoor miniature rose plant.

Have a great weekend!

Wildflowers grown from seed, scattered in my "native garden".

Very tiny baby frog out in the muddy area from the shoreline, almost couldn't see it. Hard to tell just how small it is here. Many people walked past and didn't notice it, including parents stopping and showing their small children things as they were walking along. Hard for me to pass up frogs, especially tiny ones like this. :)

Tiny flower growing on my back fence. Such a delicate dancer with those pointy toes and pretty blue tutu! These pretty little girls must be about 1/4 inch big! Love the abundance of blue dancing girls on my back fence!
