Butterflies

butterfly-1

I don’t usually manage to capture shots of butterflies. But two came to rest near my feet as I stood at Rock Creek in California. I usually like to correctly name things I find but my reference shelf is bereft of butterfly books and I presently lack patience for Google. So, this is the one with blue dots.

This is the orange one with black dots. Both are very pretty.

If you can provide an accurate name, your comment is welcomed.

  1. Nicely captured! When I find a butterfly, they never stick around long enough.
    First one is a mourning cloak, second is an eastern comma. The website I used to id is: gardenswithwings.com
