I haven't seen many butterflies this year so when I looked out the window today and saw this one I grabbed the camera and ran out. It really gave me a run before it finally settled down and let me take a few pictures! I think this is a Gulf Fritillary.

btw yes it was me in my photo a day with one of the younger grandaughters (Melissa)
You certainly caught him right. The focus is dead on and that makes him look almost like a cutout. Nice shot. We have had a large collection of Monarch, Tiger Swallowtail and Red Admirals this year with a Painted Lady showing up. I have not seen any Zebra Swallowtails this summer and usually see one.
Nice post. Very nice photo.
And, thanks for visiting my blog this morning and leaving a comment about the reflections in the water bowl.
Perfect photo of a beautiful butterfly.
Good photo, I like closeups. About the blogfoto-popup. You can see on my blog that it works, but have you tried to change an older post?
If you go to edit posts and select one, then go to html and change s400 in s640 but don't forget to publish. Nothing changes if you don't do that. Do you still have your testblog? Greetings Dick
Oh Mother!!!! That is soooo good!!! WOW!! love u
Great close-up of the butterfly!!
Dot this is an amazing photograph! You certainly know how to take close-ups.
fantastic!

Gorgeous shot! Beautiful colors, wonderful composition. Just looking at it brightened up my day.
Dot, I got in big trouble with my grandchildren because I 'did away' with some monarch caterpillars that were on my parsley and lemon tree....
Stunning, I have two photo's lined up with butter fly's but the picures or the butter flies are not to this standard. I would be great to have a butter fly day then we could view them from all around the world.
Bingo - you hit the jackpot with that one.
Spectacular shot, Dot
Wow is what I said when I firt saw the picture.What a lovely picture of the butterfly.I love the colors and the close up shot.
Beautifulllllllll! Love the color combination of orange and yellow. You did good!
Whoo~Hoo!
That is a great photo. I bet you were holding your breath the whole time.
Fritillary - what a perfect name.
dot, I've viewed a lot of your photos and they're all great, good composition, great color, but this one of the butterfly is absolutely awesome!
You're obviously quite talented, and you must really use a quality camera. I could never match your talent , but I sure would like to know what kind of camera/cameras you used to take all those beautiful photos.

What a great picture... beautiful. Here via Inspired.
Our family visited a lighthouse in Maryland last summer and on the way up the hill to the lighthouse we saw a variety of butterflies, even a black and white zebra one. Amazing creatures...

This photo could win a contest, girl, you are getting good or your camera is getting better.

Amazing photography. Admirable picture. :)
Oh my gosh, this photo is unreal! How did you get so close?
