An adonis blue

At  least, I think this is what this is. I don't know if it's a female or a male since I never saw the wings folded out. On the male, the outside of the wings is a beautiful blue color (hence the name). In French, it's called a belargus or adonis bleu or azuré bleu céleste.

This little butterfly sat perfectly still for me in the early morning light.

This one was sunning itself in the early morning. Probably too early for it to flit around. I wonder where they spend the night?

In other news, I met a neighbor from down the road during my evening walk with Callie. We've seen each other to wave for a couple of years now; he has a jack russell terrier that Callie recognizes. Yesterday we happened to be on the road at the same time. After a little walking and talking, I mentioned the roof issues we've been having. "Well, I'm a roofer," he said. So he's coming by on Tuesday morning to take a look at our roof. How about that?!
