Hi Kerri, it is a long time since I visited your site and I just want to say that I am most impressed with your picturs. We also seem to have similar photographic subjects these days. I will definitely be back. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful! One of my favorite type of photos. I notice you have posted a lot of exceptional macro and close-up shots lately, I have neglected that aspect of photography this spring and your photos inspire me to get out and work with this type of subject.
That's really a perfect photo, Kerri. I wonder if it might be a Monarch but the markings aren't exactly monarch-like (is that a word?) so not sure. It's certainly beautiful, whatever it is!
Butterflies are so hard to identify. It may be a Pearl Crescent, but than again, it may not :-) It's pretty and that is all that counts as far as I'm concerned. I get tired of trying to put names to all the beautiful flying things sometimes and just want to enjoy them.
I believe this is a Pearl Crescent like Robin's Nesting Place and Mary already stated. Here is a link with more information: http://www.cirrusimage.com/butterfly_pcrescent.htm

Beautiful, such a great shot.
ReplyDeleteAll you can do is sit there hoping that they open those beautiful wings so you can capture a quick shot. And you sure did! Good for you Kerri!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it might be a Pearl Crescent to me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
I am seeing a few butterflies already too. After seeing so few last summer, I'm thrilled each time I spot one flitting through the garden.
Such a sunshiney butterfly ~ I hope our butterflies are able to return soon ~ but it's still too cold for them yet! :(
ReplyDeleteSuch an enjoyable photo!

ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful dude, and your photo brightened my day, too.
ReplyDeletebeautiful with the green background. So clear - it shows the hirs on the flower and the antenna of the butterfly. As always, beautifully done.
