I got a couple today. Zebra Longwing was really vexing me. My dh was standing not 2 feet from Mr. or Mrs. Long Wing just hung out sipping on the salvia not in the least concerned about my husbands presence. I ran & got the camera & went out there. I observed for a bit & the ZLW still remained calmly & beautifully. I brought the camera up & darn it! the minute it saw that lens it refused to stay still. In 1996 the ZLW was named our state butterfly.

I checked the photos to see if this was the very same American Painted Lady that I posted the other day but the damage to the wings does not match up so this has to be a different one. I couldn't catch it with it's wings open.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
