Red Admiral
The warm weather earlier this spring cause a larger amount of these kinds of butterflies to appear. My allium is a big draw for them and I have four or five at the flowers at all times.
Most of the butterflies that I have observed like to close up their wings while they are feeding and this particular one had great markings on the back of it's wings. There was a gentle breeze and the sun was sitting, so my lighting was good and bad. I had to be careful not to shade my objects when standing to the west of them and then the sun did shine through their wings washing out their color.
On a one photo a day basis regularly I broke my own rules. I wanted to show you three of the many photos that I took of these beauties. I did have to search to find the name of the butterfly and the nice thing about blogs is that you can go back and edit them.

Very pretty. The colour contrast is so amazing between insect and bloom.

A pretty flower and a beautiful butterfly make wonderful photos, Larry.
Fabulous butterflies. Unfortunately they don't come to my part of the world. Guess it's time I moved...
