Blue Velvet

Walking the dogs on the canal bank early this evening the butterflies were starting to hunker down and rest so I was able to grab a few shots.

The only butterflies around tonight were the common blues which settled on the grasses till disturbed by a passing dog nose or two which wasn't such a bad call! Up close their wings are just like velvet; small but beautiful.

After a weekend of family celebrations a slightly stressful day in the office came hard! Worth it though as everything was wrapped up and put to bed - thankfully! YAY!!!!
