I'm not sure if these are Small Blues and they were too busy to ask. Any positive I.D. would be appreciated.
The Isle of Purbeck is a peninsula on the southern tip of the the county of Dorset in England. The photographs I take, hopefully, help to express how I feel about this magical place and show you things which you may see if you come to visit. I am a full time, professional photographer and have a gallery in Swanage. Please feel free to click on the picture to see it larger or to look at my other photographs. www.purbeckfootprints.co.uk

Speckled In A Wood
This butterfly was a little easier to identify, at least I think it was.
A Speckled Wood, I think, but as usual, if you have other ideas, just yell.

Not That Common
I am far from being an expert on little blue butterflies, but I think this is a Common Blue. There were quite a few of these about (hence the name I suppose), as well as several Adonis and Small Blues. I find these a lot more difficult to photograph than Deer that's for sure.
Mad Dogs And Englishman
It is easy to disappear for a while on a bright, warm, sunny day. Just leave the well worn paths that spider along the cliffs and take the animal tracks. All of a sudden the world changes and time has no meaning. Somewhere in the distance, there is a pint and a pasty waiting for me so if you don't mind I'll crack on and see if I can take pictures of creatures other than deer and Foxes. Cheers to a grand Saturday.

Brown Eyes
I could do with spending a little more time walking the dogs and a little less time watching the Foxes. Benny and Sika behave very well though and settle down next to me until its time to move on.

Roe Meadow
One of last years Roe deer enjoying the evening Sun. I know I post plenty of shots like this, but these are a real favourite of mine.
Quiet but never silent.
I missed the Sun this morning, not because I was late but because the early wander was done and dusted by the time the clouds cleared. When...
