Silver Spotted Skipper by olivetreeann

Silver Spotted Skipper

I set out today to find some farm equipment to photograph for the current black and white challenge but upon arriving at the field where I'd last seen some, I was disappointed to see none there. I was all set to head back home when I noticed some butterflies on one of the wildflowers by the road. I almost drove past them. Rain was coming in and my joints were telling me all about it! But they looked so pretty and I haven't seen a lot of butterflies this summer, so I stopped, got out of the car and took some shots. I'm glad I did. Skippers get their name from the way they flit from one flower to the next- like they are skipping their way through the flower.
Great capture

Thank you so much everyone- I am never disappointed by the macros my little point and shoot takes- it really does and amazing job! Hubby is visiting family so I am enjoying my alone time doing things I alone like to do! I shall return tomorrow.
