Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon) in May beside the trail to Pawtuckaway South Mountain in New Hampshire

Posing for its photo is a Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon). This is a small (half inch) butterfly that catches my eye with its very-blue top (not visible here). It is short-lived, but a welcome early-spring visitor.
