I was enjoying (not) one of the very warm, early summer days in my mum's garden. We have those very big and very old apple trees there that don't give any fruits anymore, but provide nice shadow and a bush of raspberries that grow right under them. As I was walking around, this little fella joined me flying there and back between the raspberry tips looking for flowers.
Yep, those are raspberry flowers there and very young fruits... though they don't even look like fruits yet, but like some furry buds.
Those little butterflies are so fast! I think he he spent about 20 minutes there. Always around and me trying to catch him. Goo my neighbors cant see me among the greenery there. They'd surely think I completely lost it.
This is Small Blue butterfly by the way. I often see them around the garden. Pretty pale blue-grey wings on the outside with some spots. I wish he had opened the wings a least once for me. They have such nice colour on the inner side too. Much darker with white edge. Google it, cause this one here was just very shy.
Photo bombed by a hairy butt :)
She was hungry too I guess.
