Painted Lady butterfly. This one was waaaay skeptical of me. It took a while for me to get this shot – and I had to lie on the ground to do so.
It hasn’t happened this year (yet) but once in a while some other hiker comes across me lying down to get an image, and they usually shout over to me “Sir, are you okay?!”
It’s terribly nice of them to do so, but it really reminds me of the fact that I am no longer a spring chicken. It’s even worse when they ask I need a hand getting up. Oh, well. On the bright side, Helena is filled with really nice people- so that’s a good thing.
I found this on the top of the knob at the end of the Ambrose accessible trail.
Nature, every day.
