Fluttery on the Dandy

Tiny Tuesday: Fluttery on the Dandy

A very common butterfly on a very common flower - but I still rather like the combination.  This is a small white (commonly known as the cabbage white).  I went in search of the more attractive Holly Blue that I spotted the other day, but despite trying I didn't manage to find one that was prepared to sit still for me.  

I did see a rather nice Whitethroat singing its heart out though, and that's added as an extra.

It hardly seems a week since last Tuesday.  I hope you've had fun trying to find something small to photograph today.  I will be catching up on your Tiny Tuesday blips during the course of the next few days and will update this page with the results once I have done so.

TINY TUESDAY RESULTS:

There were 67 entries to this week’s Tiny Tuesday Challenge.  If you haven’t already done so, they are all worth looking through, follow this link.   I've tried for a little variety in my choices this week, but there are so many excellent shots that it has been really difficult to limit it to just the  5 that I have finally chosen to give hearts to this week.  

As ever the decisions were difficult but without further ado, here are my favourites for this week (in no particular order):


Bob’s Journal: Buzz bee - a lovely colour co-ordinated bumble bee  on a flower shot.

Black Tulip: Teeny Weeny Spider - which is absolutely tiny 

Hanullis: Nope - I just loved the comical impression formed by the snail’s retracted eye stalks.

JDO: Bling - the ruby tailed cuckoo wasp looking for all the world as though it is dressed up to go to the best nightclub in town.

Wildstar: Bluebells everywhere the perfect combination of detail and softness for this subject matter

I wanted to say a big thanks to all of you who took part in the challenge this month, I hope you've liked my choices, but more importantly I hope you've all enjoyed the process of close up photography.  Next month's host will be H0tamer, starting on Tuesday 3rd May with TT362.
