Warm Light: Autumn ID

I think this is a Western Pygmy Blue Butterfly, most likely a subspecies because I live in California. This is one of the tiniest butterflies in the world, so so tiny, I am grateful I saw it while I was outside watering the plants, let alone capture it. I was watching it (while photographing it), it looked like it was cleaning it's wings, and I assume it was soaking in the last of summer's warm sun.

(one day late) Happy first day of Fall/Autumn, everyone! I love this season with the changing colors of everything, the start of cold weather, it is just awesome.
