Eastern tailed Blue
Thank you again and again Cliff.
I am making little photos that are weatherproof to accompany a friends garden when she shows it on a Garden Walk.
I've never actually done anything with my photos except just move them around in files on computers.
You have helped me with identifier labels that will accompany the photos.

Happy to help and share my learnings from the last
four years of study and observations.
It nice that you have found a valuable educational use for your images.

Happy to help...
These Garden folks are a little particular about identification of species. Most of them should appreciate, at least, the effort.
I don't mean to make them sound persnickety they are actually a fun group of people.
