Painted Lady....Again

Today as I was enjoying the beautiful day we were graced with, I noticed not one, but two Painted Lady Butterflies on the bushes. They seemed to each want a bit of space and would chase one another if the other "intruder" came too close.

I wanted to work the new lens a bit more, so I took several shots. I like the colors in this photo and how the butterfly's wings were actually closed, revealing the underside markings.
