Still in the high 80's - no wonder these poor butterflies don't know to fly off. These Viceroy have spent a good bit of time down in the now almost dry creek.
Wow, I love the beautiful sunlight on the wings. Lucky you to be enjoying high temperatures and butterflies! You are very good at spotting and photographing these flying flowers!
Pretty shot.
I wouldn't be comfortable in that sort of heat but we could certainly do with some sunshine here.
