The pinky-finger is there to show how tiny the little butterfly actually is!   
 I have taken many photos of the "Common Grass Blue" but never had one sit still for long enough to do this.

Touched with gold by the late afternoon sun.
We took a short but enjoyable drive to the game reserve.
Sightings included Buffalo, White Rhino and numerous beautiful birds:
Natal Francolin, Southern Boubou, Emerald Spotted Dove, Burchells Coucal & Hoopoe.
Unfortunately it gets dark so suddenly after the sun dips behind the mountains that we headed home
within an hour and a half. It is such a blessing to live so close to the game reserve.....
