A small drawing of a blue butterfly on a pink flower. The drawing is created in colour pencil and has a very hazy, soft focus effect. The drawing is on white paper.
The Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil on white acid free artist paper
Approximately 4 by 6 inches (10.16 x 15.24 cm) will fit into a standard 4 by 6 inch photo frame.

Boomblauwtje (Celastrina argiolus)
Dit standvlindertje zien we in in tuinen, parken en bosachtige gebieden, dorpen en steden. Dit vlindertje is een beetje een 'hoogvlieger' en fladdert dus meestal niet op bloemenhoogte.

Butterfly, Holly Blue (Celestrina argiolus)

Unlike this holly blue, I'm facing yet-another odyssey but this time it affects both of my tele zoom lenses. My second-hand EF 70-200mm f/4 USM also started to fail & I'm trading it for another used one in good condition, choosing to not replace my dead EF-S 55-250mm for the time being. I'll be stuck with my small kit lens for at least another week, though it continues to deliver pretty good results.

A holly blue (Celastrina argiolus) feeding on common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus).

From earlier today, a butterfly that I tentatively identify as a holly blue.

A possible holly blue butterfly on a bramble plant. The butterfly has a pale blue body with black speckles, white legs and black and white antennae (only one of the two is visible in this picture. On the bottom left hand side of the shot is a fruiting but as yet unripe blackberry (green, with the very distinctive sections of that fruit_, and a few white petals are also visible.

Today I spotted a Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) in the garden, resting on wild marjoram (Origanum vulgare)!
It’s one of the first blue butterflies to appear in spring and summer, often seen fluttering around ivy, holly, or buckthorn.
I always love how their shimmering blue wings catch the sunlight.

Vanmiddag een boomblauwtje (Celastrina argiolus) in de tuin gezien, rustend op wilde marjolein (Origanum vulgare)!
Het is een van de eerste blauwtjes die in lente en zomer tevoorschijn komen, vaak te vinden bij klimop, hulst of wegedoorn.
Die flitsende blauwe vleugels in het zonlicht zijn telkens weer een prachtig gezicht.

Sinisiipi paistattelee kylmän aamun auringonvalossa. Holly blue butterfly basking in the cold morning sunlight.
Suomen kansallisperhoseksikin valittu paatsamasinisiipi on kaunis perhonen, ja lentääkseen se tarvitsee lämpöä, kuten hyvin moni hyönteinen. Pari viikkoa sitten alkoi päiväperhosia näkyillä ja näin kuun lopussa moni on jo löytänyt kumppanin. Mustikka ja paatsamat ovat lajille tärkeitä, paitsi ravintona (samalla pölyttäen kukat!) myös toukan ravintokasvina.

A look at the first half of today's IPL match and two photo galleries (I have already posted some of the highlights here but to see all my pictures you need to visit the blog).

A Holly Blue butterfly (blue body with black speckles) on a green leaf.

Of course, the first C. argiolus (and, by extension, my very first blue of this season) to show up near my village needed to happen at the same time a hair landed on my camera's sensor out of nowhere AND a family with two dogs decided to walk past me. This shot doesn't show the amount of stress I experienced.
