OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE

I saw a small Ceraunus blue butterfly fluttering around tall weeds in an overgrown field. After I made a few gentle attempts to get close, it finally accepted my presence. I used a photography technique called focus stacking to get as much of the butterfly in focus as possible. Luckily, one of my exposures captured its extended proboscis, the sippy straw it uses to extract nectar from flowers.
