Second [self-] challenge by rhoing

Second [self-] challenge

Painted Lady; wings down. This one probably doesn’t have wings all-the-way-down, but this is probably as good as I am going to get. The Painted Ladies (or Lady, if there’s just been this one!) at our butterfly bush have been very skittish and fly away before I can approach very close.

Now I promise to “lay off” the V. carduis; this is the sixth…

Great shot, Thom! Love the colors and focus - and you even caught it with its "tongue" out!

@annbo @tooki @lyoungs1023 @furrylens @xtech @bella_ss Thank you everyone! I think this is the best shot I'm going to get this season without a bigger lens or camping out in the second floor window looking down on the purple-flowered butterfly bush!
