Gulf Fritillary Butterfly #3

Lori and I were both chasing butterflies at the Arizona-Sonora Desert museum. There's a butterfly garden between the hummingbird exhibit and the main entrance which the flutterbys just love. Lori got some great shots, of which this Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) is one.

  Great shot, Lori! I love butterflies, and it's so seldom that they pose nicely for pictures...
