NOTICE: THIS IMAGE IS NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. Captured some butterfly shots just this morning. Tried to identify this little guy but couldn't. Anybody know? Ok, E.J. says it's a Gulf Fritillary.

It is a 'McNeil's ' Saltbush Sootywing, Owd Momma. Actually I don't know what it is, but you have to love that butterfly name.
Well composed scene. Much beauty wrapped in a small space.

It's a "Gulf Fritillary" Pat. Great Composition. Well Done.

Here is a couple of images of the same butterfly from my gallery.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
