I stepped outside this morning with camera in hand with the telephoto lens. The second I closed the door this little butterfly landed on my hand. I sure was wishing there was somebody else around to photograph it. I also instantly thought "Tawny Emperor". Don't know where I brought that thought from, but I think I was correct.
I walked over to the zinnia patch and had to force the butterfly to leave my hand for the zinnia blooms. The color of this cutie is just unbelievable, such a dreamy color.
