Taking a Sip

Fort Worth Botanical Gardens from Saturday's visit. The following is an excerpt from
The Butterfly by Martha Lavinia Hoffman (1865-1900)
Butterfly, butterfly, where are you going?
Do you dine today with the regal rose
Or nectar sip with the lilies blowing
In the golden noontide's sweet repose?
Away, away, on silken pinions,
Gay guest of Flora's proudest minions.

What a beautiful shot. I think this is a skipper. A tighter crop would allow me to tell. I really love this. The colors are awesome.

@meeyauw Thank you. Can you use the magnifier to get a better view? I almost missed this little guy, I was so busy trying to take pictures of the bees, then when I saw it, I liked this shot better. I have another picture of it from a different angle, but I liked this pic more.

Wonderful shot, love the simple three colours of the photo.
