I guess the guy tired out after me chasing him through the brush for a pretty good while. All I can say is beware of thorney things and low tree limbs. Hope the knot on my head is gone soon.

Those low limbs can be killers. My forehead has a permanent impression in it that looks like bark. LOL. Excellent shot here of that butterfly. I love the lighting and the colors. Do they get along with dragonflies?

Great colours on the butterfly and the lighting is very nice too with part shadow and part sunshine.

This wonderful post is very worth the effort you've done to capture it. Very good work (doesn't mean however the knot on your head, Ed, lol).

Well this beauty was worth the chase except for your lump on the head, put some ice on it. Whiling tubing down a rushing river full of rocks my tube overturned I fell over backwards and cracked my head on a rock and had a lump the size of a goose egg, it's still tender but the swelling has gone down

Well worth the knot, Ed! I think it's a Viceroy and it's perfect! Knots are rewards for your quest for what's beautiful.

Another great capture of the beauties from the small world Knot Head. I thought you would like to think of that Disney Ride again. It's a small world. :)

Clarity is real good and it is a Viceroy, nonfilter.
