The Eastern Tailed Blue butterfly has the wing span is about 22 mm, and the length of their whole *torso* is about 10 - 12 mm. Full view for details, please.

Looks like the small Eastern Tailed Blue butterfly was my top favorite

for shooting last Summer.

... for the compliment. As to watermark, I don't think it's big - I tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible - but it's either watermark or image so small in size that the details are missing. *smiles* I don't like to find my images taken by people as their own (and it happened to me few times) so the watermark is a must.

Or Chickweed. Other common names include starweed, bindweed,

winterweed, satin flower, tongue grass, and Stitchwort, Stellaria

graminea.

Amazing image. The B&W has such great grey scale I could touch the textures. Wow.

Beautiful capture of marvelous birds. Love the light on them.

You already know I love it. :)

Stunning like always.

Beautiful scene - I love silhouettes. :)

Beautiful capture - the color tone makes it look like 50s poster.

That's just stunning.

Beautiful. The smooth glide on blue sky makes it perfect. :)

Great capture of a beautiful sculpture. The grey scale is fantastic.

Beautifully done. The detail is amazing for such small critter.

The rule of thirds works perfectly here, leading the eye across the image. Great vibrant color.

Beautiful color and composition. It's so delicate looking.

Thank you for visiting my page. :)

A plant from the same Ericaceae family as Heath, this one called

Pieris. The bell-shaped flowers, each less than quarter of inch (5 mm)

long, are arranged into 2" (5 cm) long *stalks*, hanging from branches.

Yay! Finally. I found the Mantis. *laughing* And to tell you the

truth it scared the hell out of me at first. I would be a fool to let

this kind of opportunity to escape, so I aimed my camera at the

critter and started shooting. After two or three shots the darn Mantis

turned its head in my direction, looked me in the eye, and...

 

*wink* ... No, it didn't say "Yes, dear?" but it looked like it could.
