Description
Nikon 7900 pocket camera, hand-held images.
Day 4 of my "Butterfly week". Although I am not 100% positive about which Crescent Butterfly this is, I am pretty sure it is a Pearl Crescent. I originally thought it was a Checkerspot and that is what I titled it when I first edited it. I forgot to change that when I posted this image, lol. I took these shots last November.

Thanks to those who take the time to comment. BTW, for those who have asked, I have started matting my images for the upcoming exhibition at the Regional Arts Council Art center. All the images have been selected and printed. I am also working on a printed Calendar and some digital ones as well.

First off thanks for the update, with any luck I might be able to claim 'I knew that chap before he was famous' #;0) Here's hoping, I sincerely hope you do well, I can't see any reason you won't. Excellent couple of capture of this beautiful butterfly Lee, I see another little critter crawling about underneath as well. I can't quite make out what it is but its antenna are showing very clear. Superb work and presentation, will you be doing cards with information on for the exhibition? I have noticed this very nice touch you are giving your images now, with all the factual information. Bravo!!!!!
