Pearly-eyes

I do not recall photographing one of these before. I think it is a Northern Pearly-eye Butterfly. It never closed its wings so I could see the other side. At first I thought it was a Wood Nymph. Glad I captured this photo.

Surprise

I don't know if you have ever attempted to photograph a Cabbage White butterfly, but it is really difficult. They just don't stop. This one did ... so you know what I did.

Red Spotted

I really was surprised to see this Red-Spotted Purple Butterfly. I didn't get the photo I wanted but it is still one beautiful butterfly.

Pearls

We have been watching for a Pearl Crescent butterfly. We both have through we saw one, but we have not been able to confirm it, never mind capture a photograph. This one was just beautiful.
