Ment for a morning walk before the fog had lifted this morning, and found several butterflies just starting their morning flitabouts. One, a little skipper is almost never still fro more than a few seconds at a time. The cooler air enabled me to get several nice shots of our little winged friends.

Excellent photo of a female Bronze Copper. It is not often that you can find one of these. I would be interested in learning the specific location in order to record it in our local and NYS statistics. Its eggs overwinter on curly or water dock.
