Amore!

Amore!
A couple of months ago I was watering the tomatos on our back deck when I saw something flutter away and land on the wall. I could hardly believe my luck when I saw it was a pair of mating Silver-Spotted Skippers! I dashed downstairs for my camera and popped on the macro flash to make sure there was enough light. Happily, the skippers were still there when I returned and I was able to get lots of pictures! They are standing on a screen material we used to block the sun from cooking the tomato pots.
