Cold and lonely

I know this little Checkered White skipper has to be cold and lonely. I know I've been cold all day. I found it on some Queen Anne's Lace in the hay field. I wasn't looking for butterflies. I was looking for water drops. LOL! It's been really cold and rainy the last two days, so finding it was a nice surprise. :0)

Thank you for your nice comments on yesterday's pic!!! I'm posting another pic in my extra album today for joe@jodimuli. He wanted to see some more fall leaves. :0)

What a gorgeous little skipper! Wow!

It must be getting closer for them to disappear. She blends right in with that flower.
November 5th, 2011  
That is so pretty and "lacy"! Sorry you're cold.
November 5th, 2011  
I agree with Mary - a very pretty, lacy photo. We've had freezing weather here this week too Carolyn - but today it is up to 30d celsius - just gorgeous.

@murnane Thank you, Marg! I was scrolling down my homepage and saw your comment on Jennifer's lovely bird pic. Your comment about "sneaking up" on kid's shoes made me laugh until I cried!!! You are so funny! :0)

This is just so beautiful--I really like the angle you chose. Our butterflies have long gone, it's just too cold. I'm surprised this one is still around!

Beautiful, love how all the colours compliment each other!

Looks like he broke out the fur coat for the cold weather. How very furry he looks. This is just gorgeous! You are amazing with that P&S.
November 7th, 2011  
Awsome, Carolyn. Another FAV. How do you find so many great shots of these wonderful butterflies? Are you an entomologist? I see you live in TN. Our daughter is in Memphis. Best wishes. Thanks for your nice compliment about my photos.

@morrisroos Thank you so much for your kind words! No, I'm not an entomologist. I taught school for 17 years, thirteen of those in kindergarten. I have always been interested in insects, but the 365 has gotten me outside and looking all around me. I knew some of the insect and flower names, but not as many as I thought. I got some really nice guides for Mother's Day. I live in the middle of five acres with fields and woods on three sides. I walk around the place and look for insects. I hang out around the wildflowers to find my butterflies. There are just a few wildflowers still blooming, so this will probably be my last week to post butterflies. There is a cold front coming in tomorrow. :0)
