I had a nice time photographing this butterfly...he was kind of a challenge because he kept moving in a circle on the butterfly bush and from flower to flower on it..
Look closely at the wings to see how torn they are.

When we were sitting out with Chance this morning we watched one just like it flitting around the yard. It was huge. I didn't even get up and get the camera because I never get butterflies to stay still long enough for me to take it's picture. dooley
