So many butterflies...

There have not been butterflies around this year, until now. Caught this one on a "sad looking" Zinnia...but it did not seem to mind.

Thanks, Syd! This is one of just less than 20 or so that just didn't look right...wrong lighting, out of focus, the butterfly flew away... But persistence paid off! I appreciate your comments, especially as busy as I know you are in school! Two of our children got BSN degrees and they worked hard in school. I wish you well!!
