Last night while watering I noticed this very cool looking butterfly. I quickly ran into the house and got my camera. I'm glad that the photo's came out so clear. I wish that I had known then what I was photographing as I would have tried to get a photo of the butterfly with it's wings open.
This is a California Tortoise Shell butterfly. The outer wings look like dead leaves, but if I got a photo of the inside it would have been beautiful, all red and blue. I tried again this morning, but it would not stay still. Hopefully I'll have a few more chances this summer. Poor thing it is very lost!
