Shot this on a Sunday morning in June 2004 on the Blue Ridge Parkway near the "The Saddle" overlook. The butterfly was cooperative enough to not fly away when I approached. Had to lay on my stomach in the morning dew to capture the image on a Nikon D2H.
Nice to have a butterfly that is a compliant model. Must have been your lucky day.
Amen on the butterfly photo. I like it.
