I love the details in this photo. This is a Cabbage White Butterfly ... we all see them in our yards this time of year. They flutter around and we don't think much of their presence .. but they are really cool.

Let’s Be Friends
We were walking on the bike trail south of town when a butterfly seemed to attack us. This dude was all over me .. but would not land. I knew right away it was a Hackberry Emperor. Normally they like to land on my arms where they drink up the sweat and salt. This one bumped me a couple times, checked out Teresa and flew away. That happed again a little further down the path. A little later it landed where I captured this photo.

The Skipper
I sure did not expect to see this Silver-Spotted Skipper. We were hiking near the stillwater river when we saw this butterfly. What a wondeful surprise.

Chill Pearl
We saw a couple Pearl Crescent Butterflies this past week. Frankly it caught me by surprise. The temperature was in the 50s which is a little cold for butterflies. It was sunny but didn't feel like butterfly weather.
