Common Buckeye

Some years I see a lot of these; some years I don’t. I didn’t post any I was able to photograph in 2014 or 2015, but there are some this far north this year.

How beautiful!

@marlboromaam I think they're even more beautiful from above, but I don't have nearly as much luck catching them with their wings down, especially without a long lens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rhoing It's different and that's a good thing. Doesn't everyone capture them with their wings down? I'm fixing to upload an odd one myself.

@marlboromaam “Doesn't everyone capture them with their wings down?” Yes … because that's the prettier side. :)

@rhoing Aww! But different is a nice change.
