(Main) Photography->Butterflies
While back on Long Island last Halloween, I noticed a group of flowers next to the porch that seemed out of place well into the Fall. They were vibrant, healthy, pollen laden and stoodout among the drab foliage surrounding them. I inquired of my Daughter-in-law as to what they were. She informed me they were a late blooming type of "Mum". Thought I'd try my luck at capturing a decent picture of them. Little did I know the "distractions" that lie ahead in the next half hour or so. This Butterfly was only the first of three which I hope to post. Have no idea what species this might be ... but I thought it's colors and pattern attractive enough to post. (to be continued with Distractions #2)
Pardon Muggsy now while he returns to bed nursing the "Mother of all Colds" since New Years Day :(

I believe that a Wondering Monarch John. Mind you I’m no expert so don’t take it as gospel. It’s a marvellous punchy and vibrant photo too.

Are we ever gooood. What a super capture. The colors are a visual knockout. A keeper for sure. That's a one in a million shot with that particular butterfly landing on that particular flower. Love it.

We have that same butterfly here, but I don't know what it's called. Great capture of it! And take care of yourself and get well. Here's some virtual chicken soup.

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
WOW John, that is sooooooooome image you have presented here !
Not only the butterfly is to beautifull for words, but also his (and your) surroundings.
Wonderfull colors, as well on the flower as on the butterfly. Congratulations on a wonderful shot.

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
I think given the markings and your locale it's a Fritillar, but, I can't seem to find which exact one in my field guide.
Hey, who cares right...it's all about the shot and you gotta firecracker of one here buddy!! Nice comp 'n' colors and a great flier!!
