brilliant orange, brown and beautiful almost metallic-like spots beneath .. several captured for digital memories .. some still brightly colored .. others show tears .. and faded wings .. amazing creatures to watch nectaring .. on red Jatropha blooms.. pink Knock-Out Roses .. even a few Blue Daze flowers .. hope you enjoy this .. as much as I enjoyed them may your days be filled with wonder, my Friends Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) © All rights reserved - done in Picnik.com

the energy it takes me to look beautiful.. to be bright red.. stay in an open position to be admired.. but, I've used up my reserves.. thank you for seeing me.. when I'm beautiful and when I'm fading... *no enhancement *cropped only © All rights reserved
