Gossamer

The Western Tailed blue is one of the Gossamer-wing butterflies. I've seen more of them than any other butterflies. At this point, I'm happy to see any butterfly! :0)

Thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's pics! :0)

What a gorgeous capture of him! It sure is strange how no matter where you live, everyone is talking about the lack of butterflies this year. You've sure taken a beautiful picture - I keep studying your exit details. Just love this one.
