Hairstreak at Bass Lake (Gray Hairstreak)

    I just love this particular group of butterflies. This lovely one was sitting right next to the path about waist level, as if to say "sure, I'll sit here while you take my picture, but I can't wait around all day!"

      Lovely! Especially with the purely soft background. Love his intact little tails.

      Thank you -- and Goshzilla - the photo was actually shot at 90 degreess counter clockwise angle. The butterfly was head down. But it just looked more pleasing to me with the head up.
