During my last visit to the calendar gardens, I did not see many butterflies, but I did spot this lovely.

The viceroy butterfly are smaller in size than a monarch, and have a black line at the bottom of their wings.

I was thrilled to see her, this is one butterfly I don't usually see.

Thank you for your comments.

This is a beauty, Sandi.
The wings look like a beautiful piece of stained glass. Very well done .

A fine capture Sandi. I like the angle and the purple flowers are also lovely.
