Absolutely beautiful this morning, no wind, lovely light, a covering of dew and plenty of roosting butterflies! This Small Skipper was just starting to wake up.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Lewis,

That's an outstanding shot from the BG to the complimentary colours of the subject and stem. The dew is simply stunning. An early start rewarded!

Regards

Jon

Amazing !
After many hours tramping around in wet grass at an unearthly time of day, I find plenty of sleepies , but never find them like this !
Great stuff.
