An Orange Sulphur on a clover.

We still haven't gotten any rain. The butterflies aren't going to have any wildflowers left.

Thank you for your visits, comments, and faves!!! :0)

That's one of your best. So soft and delicate. Our Sulphurs tend to be yellow.

It took me a moment to see the butterfly; it blends so well. Very pretty and delicate touch you have here

Such delicate colour variations and a beautiful macro capture.

[alia_801]

Really pretty capture of the hungry butterfly :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Splendid capture. Love the pale textures.

[Rick Schies]

When the heat is pounding like it did the other week it really is hard on them. She is trying hard to maintain her beauty

[richard saffold]

we had about fifteen raindrops yesterday....even the weeds aren't growing this year.

[elkehochban]

fabulous! Your shots always have an awesome clarity.

[Milanie]

That color combination is fantastic - such a pretty capture. You got its beauty and fragileness all in one - we're so dry and I couldn't even find one of these today. At least we're not in Colorado - though I'm sure Florida would share.

[Clare Figgins]

Fav so gorgeous! What a refreshing image.

[Carolyn White]

@chard I hope there aren't any fires near you!

[Dawn Wilson]

Beautiful!

[bardejov]

I'm always amazed at the quality of your shots captured with your 300mm lens. I probably already asked you what kind of lens it is, would you mind to tell me again ?

[Pyrrhula]

Very stunting , great clearaty, very beautiful.

[Boxplayer]

Splendid light on this one.

[richard saffold]

@cjwhite some small ones have started this afternoon.

[BeckyS]

Beautiful. Blends in with the leaves of the flowers

[Carolyn White]

@chard Stay safe!!!

[Carolyn White]

@bardejov Thank you! I use a Canon 75-300mm zoom lens. :0)

[Kathryn Marshall]

Beautiful capture. Great color tones. NO rain here either. We are now experiencing record breaking heat. Plants are looking bad.

[Paul Myers]

Wonderful close up. Glad you liked my Monarch.

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

Beautiful colors in this one. I've never seen one before. Very cool.
