What a surprise to see this California Tortoiseshell on Paperbush today in March, until I learned that they overwinter and fly from March to May, then are seen again in August/September. Info said they're uncommon below 1,000 ft and this was at sea level! Nothing is common these days!

A great image of this Tortoiseshell, Nirvan! In France, we can see this lovely butterfly from the first days of spring. BV. Anna

This is pure joy to view. The colours are all sympathetic to each other and the butterfly is a real bonus. Delightful sharp shot. VV
