The maintenance guy got here at about 9:30 this morning. Have you ever seen the episode of Keeping Up Appearances where Hyacinth and Richard are shopping for a country cottage? And they can’t understand a word that the local guy says? I’m usually pretty good with accents, especially home-grown ones, but this guy’s was impenetrable.

The Lessons We Can’t Unlearn
Eastern Tailed Blue

Eastern Tailed Blue (Cupido comyntas)
The little brat wouldn’t open his wings for more than a couple of seconds. I wanted to get a photo of the uppersides, because they were bright blue. The undersides were muted and a little bit greyish. (And yes, he. In summer, the females are brown, but the males are iridescent blue.)
