Taken in my garden earlier today. One of the few butterflies that I've seen in the garden this year. Last year was bad too :-(

You have a generous garden that provides beautiful photographic serendipity. I often have to carry a thermos of coffee and wait for long periods. Have a great weekend, Keith.

Glad you like this one Anton...........these butterflies rarely settle for long, so it took a while and quite a few tries to get his one.

Thank you for your visit and lovely comments my friend..!!

Iced coffee would probably be more appropriate in this heat :-))

Thank you Gudrun.........I'm pleased you like this one.

We try and plant pollinator-friendly plants in the garden, but sadly this year and last, there have not been many butterflies around.

Its that time of year and what perfect conditions for these butterflies. We have lots in our garden but they flitter about too much for me to ever catch them on film and so my congratulations here. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Superb details here, Keith. I particularly like the area around the head with the compound eye, the antennae and the proboscis. The flower is Verbena bonariensis.

Thanks for your visit and kind comments Amelia............glad you like this one..!!

Thanks for the link. I have lots of Verbena in the garden and most pollinators seem to like them. The downside is that they blow around in the slightest of breezes and make photos difficult :-)
