Pretty in pink

This neighbor’s garden was a treasure trove of skippers in summer.

I really like this one! I think having something dull colored like the skipper inside this beautifully colored flower allows them to both compliment each other. Superb capture! ~BV~

'Tis as if the wings are catching a hint of the flower's colour.
