Right on my doorstep......

Well, just outside the office where I work that is. Not the most inspiring place I can tell you. So I was surprised to see a number of small butterflies resting in the grass early one morning. So the next day I took my macro-lens (Pentax A-100mm f2.8 for the die hard) with me to work. Et voila.

Passers by (including colleagues) must have thought that I was a lunatic, lying down in the grass, but I had lots of fun! It just goes to show that beauty is everywhere, also in the most inconspicuous places.

Btw1: this is the 'Common Blue' or Icarusblauwtje (Polyommatus icarus).

Btw2, if anyone has tips on great places to 'shoot' more butterflies, please let me know.
