Flying By

I loved the markings on this butterfly.

Updated comment: This is a composite -- it was not flying in real life, but sitting on our grill flapping its wings. The grill looked so dirty (embarrassingly so), that I thought it would be prettier on a sky-is palette. The title fit the image, but it inadvertently was misleading. My apologies.
