I made this picture a view weeks ago, in the nature aira "Ossemeer". To the edge of me place of residence. 2 Hours around and much photograph here I I have walked made. It is Britain's (and probably Europe's) most common and most widespread blue, found as far north as Orkney and on most of the Outer Hebrides. Males are often very obvious as they defend territories against rivals and search out the more reclusive females. A range of grassland habitats are used: meadows, coastal dunes, woodland clearings and also many man made habitats, anywhere where their foodplants are found. It is Widespread in Europe, North Africa and temperate Asia

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe

Sorry for my late response. I am ashamed myself.
I am at present also with many other things busy and have enough time
therefore no longer so much. And translating asks nevertheless time. I
want make it nevertheless personal, but that not always succeeds.
I appreciate it every time as you react to my photograph. Thanks you all,
Wil

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil
