That's a great photo, Elphaba. You seem to have the BF's that I don't have. I have seen a couple of big black or dark blue butterflies around my garden in the past couple of months but they would never stay long enough for me to photograph them. :o((

Today the Blue Angels were performing at the Jacksonville Air Force Base which is just about 10 miles from us. I could hear them so I went outside with the camera in hopes of getting a pic of them in the air. I didn't get to see the Blue Angels but while I was outside I spotted two Am. Painted Ladies, another Buckeye, some little skippers, and a small silver butterfly which I should know the name of but have forgotten :o((. At one time they were all feeding on one of my purple mums but I couldn't manage to get a picture of all of them at the same time. However, I did get a few good shots (out of 77 photos I took while I was out there--LOL)
