Title: 2011 Florida Butterflies

As fall takes off, the last of the Florida Butterflies are trying to reproduce for the winter, so thought I would post some of the butterfly shots I have got this season :)

These are delicious!

I especially like the Long-Tailed skipper. The darker background gives the subject more pop.

Interesting notation, and I agree with you, sometimes the darker background does make them pop!

Cheers!
