For today’s reflection —
like a fragment of blue torn from the sky,
quickening beneath storm clouds.
My first glimpse this year of an uncommonly beautiful Common Blue butterfly.

The Common Blue Butterfly (Polyommatus icarus) is a tiny jewel of nature, dazzling with its sky-blue wings and delicate beauty. 🦋 Found fluttering across meadows.🌿💙

Gaia's paradise: the common blue: 💙🦋
It's breathtaking beauty: as it shimmers in the sunlight: moving gracefully: just as the mother intended it to be.
A cascade of colour: a delight to eyes and the senses.

My first capture this year of my favourite butterfly, the common blue - what a colour!💙🩵💙
It is rare for me to catch them resting with their wings open - I am delighted!🦋🦋🦋

It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 Great run down to deliver the lads at Uni, all went smoothly so we enjoyed a picnic together in local gardens, joined by small copper and #CommonBlue #butterflies. Great to see! @savebutterflies #WestMidlands @BC_WestMids @winterbournehg

Har vært på sommerfugljakt 🦋 Det er mye vakkert som flagrer rundt på blomsterengene disse sensommerdager. Dagpåfugløye, tiriltungeblåvinge, rapssommerfugl og aglajaperlemorvinge var noen av dem som dukket opp.
