Finally Found the Milkweed

Better on black. The butterflies have been rare this summer - was so happy to spot this one in the yard this morning. Of course, he wouldn't stop fluttering, but - oh well!

Nice shot. So glad you are finding some butterflies, our populations have declined precipitously, it's very worrisome.

Yeah, having a hard time getting the ones down here to stay still. But this one really looks great, even with a slight hint of movement.
