Sleepy Orange

I love the name of this butterfly! It's a Sleepy Orange. It's drinking from a Common Fleabane wildflower.

I'm not sure if I'll have anymore butterfly pics for awhile. The hayfield was cut today and I lost most of my wildflowers. I think I lost all of my red clover, which butterflies love.

I have never been sad to see the field cut before, but I was today!!! I lost a lot of my photo ops! LOL! :0)

Love the yellow butterfly with theyellow daisy centres. Almost makes a circle and moves your eye round.
