We had a beautiful weekend, and as I was out shuffling around in the yard I saw a nice sulpher butterfly. I think it was an Orange sulpher. I stood there speechless, as this was the first BF I'd seen this year. Obviously I didn't have the camera.

I was prepared after that. I saw what I thought was a new butterfly that I hadn't seen before flitting around the neighbors house. I ran in and got the camera. All I could get was a lousy single shot. I still don't know what it is, but from the looks of it, it looks rather old, as I think the edges of it's wings are all tattered and torn. Anyone have any ideas?
It was the same size as a Black Swallowtail......

More butterflies to come, as the temps warm up in my area.
Happy happy -- joy joy!
