enjoy !!

Excellent pics, Charles! I thoroughly enjoyed browsing them.

Am I missing something or have you not had the courage to name them all yet? How are we pedants going to get our fun if we can't tut and say, 'Oh no, that's not a thingy, it's a whotsit!'?

Guy

glad you liked them Guy

i will name them in due course... probably French names... the Clouded Yellow looks like a Jean-Paul to me

Well done Charles.

Some brilliant shots there. I especially liked the Skipper pics. Is No P1010262 a Cardinal?
You must have had a great time. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers
Denise

thanks so much Denise !!

i had great fun taking the pics... most days the temperature was in excess of 100 degrees F

here is the pic you mentioned; maybe somebody would like to give their opinion:

On the second time of looking, it seems more like a SWF. Still a fab pic.
The Skipper pics really are outstanding!
Perhaps you should put them in the photo gallery.

Cheers

Yes, that's a (female, I think) silver-washed fritillary.

Ah! That feels better!

Guy

thanks Denise & Guy... glad i'm not the only one who finds it difficult to distinguish SWF & Cardinals

i have put a selection of the pics in a photo album:
