thats a great photo

Beautiful photo Tastey

Yes, I agree.
Great colours. Good picture :o)

Thanks for the compliments. This butterfly was shy... I got too close and he flew away.

Great shot, wonderful shape, and the little guy looks so industrious.

This photo is great.. well captured, do you know what sort of butterfly it is ?

Thanks GT. He was hard at work until I got too close and scared him off :(
Thanks Deida. S/He is called a Fiery Skipper, if I've identified him correctly. There is a wonderful site that someone (sorry I forget who it was) here turned me on to. A great butterfly site for identifying these winged beauties. Here's the link:
