Hi Jim,
These two images kind of blow my saying about colour and clothes right out
the window! :-)
The absolute beauty of Mother Nature in Her colour renditions of these
butterflies is an absolute beauty beyond one's imagination! I just can't
imagine photographing them in B&W! :-( aacckk!
You my friend are a Master at capturing these critters. Quite amazing
indeed.  GOOD ON YOU!
cheers,
Dr. ted

I found three butterflies on the Buddlei today, but only the Fritillary 
was cooperative.  The lighting was better, so I decided I would post two 
more shots of this colorful creature.

Here is a top view of the wings, which are not as striking as the underside.

The glancing light in this view shows the texture of the wings to a 
better advantage.  There is a Carpenter bee hiding out beneath the flower.

Please view these LARGE.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
