Took this shot the first week of July before all the rain from Cindy.
We were getting a few butterflies til this rain started up again.

Outstanding. Perfect focus and the colors are outstanding. We have painted ladies here and the colors aren't quite so vivid. They are beautiful BFs. :toast:

Randy,

Don't you just love when it all comes together. You might as well stop shooting this species as I find it hard to believe you could get it any better. :toast: :toast: :toast:
