Coat of many colors
Day 103

I believe this is an Orange Sulpher butterfly.

Here's another angle of this cooperative little fellow: http://www.pbase.com/image/32708628

No editing or cropping on either of these images; I had to keep backing the lens off because I was bumping into him!

Don't you just love it when they cooperate. Lovely, quiet photo. Now I must go look at the others.

Great details. Even the lighting on the leaves blend with his wings. Cool shot.

Wow, he really blends in! And I love those eyes. I took a couple of butterfly shots today, and if I post them in a non-PaD gallery, I might ask you to take a look and identify them for me. Nice shot, Carmen.
