California Sister Butterfly, Adelpha bredowii. From September last year. We see this butterfly most every year late summer, and as, I guess all of us, I hope to get a better shot this time around

Neat how the shaft of light falls on the wings. The markings really stand out. Nice capture

Good detail Charlie, but is the head slightly outside the depth of field? (It might just be me.)
I agree with Nancy's comment about the light - Well seen. I only wish there was a little more space between the butterly and the shadow on the left.

Thanks for sharing
