The Purple-shot Copper ( L. a gordius)
|
It's now been two years and thirty days since I started my blog. It was a Mother's Day present from my
daughter, and one of the nicest gifts I have ever received, and one that continues to give me pleasure. She helped me set it up, and even chose the header photograph, one she already had in her possession. I have kept the same header all this time for sentimental reasons, but now think it's about time I changed it every so often,:)) especially since I feel my photography has improved a little. You still won't always see sharp images, but I hope you will see beauty.
The Purple-shot Copper have upperwings that are coppery orange and dark-spotted in males, but orange-brown with dark spots in females. Both have violet sheen.Found in mountain meadows.Wingspan 4cm, and flight period from June to July.

That was a fantastic gift from your daughter, Sonjia. I always enjoy the beauty of nature on your pictures. I'm regularly amazed about the beautiful butterflies you have there. Gorgeous series again. Greetings from the Netherlands, Joke
A gift that you needed, your daughter must have deep feelings for you, lovely.
The butterflies in your blog are excellent.
:) And what a good idea it was!! I'm so pleased it gives you so much pleasure! If I had known, I would've done it much sooner!!!! xxx
Es preciosa. Besitos.
cool butterfly
and i'm glad to have you in my blog neighborhood. :)
this butterfly is very pretty - such a change from blue body to bright orange wings!
I love your new header; what a beauty......Your images are always breathtaking and of the most beautiful of creatures God has created....
You have ever since the time change the header, so as not to bind up odwiedzjących you. The butterfly is very nice. Yours.
WoW! Beautiful photos.
Greetings, RW & SK
You share the color and detail of nature so beautifully.
Beautiful photos
What a beautiful little butterfly. I completely agree with you about photographs. It is the story that they portray that is important, not that they are perfectly focused or exposed! Happy two years and thirty days' anniversary!
The colors are so enchanting and vibrant. I really like these with the colors of the flowers.

Hello Nick:) It is indeed a sweet little butterfly, and a regular visiter to my garden every year. It always heads streight for my Santolina plants and then on to the Heather! As much as I enjoy taking photos, my love of nature has always come before photography.
It doesn't seem as though it's been over two years since I first started this blog, but Im so glad I did:)
