Butterflies at last

Well, only a few of them, at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast DC. It has only taken four trips there this summer to find them. In previous years, there were loads of them everywhere.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

It’s that time of year again, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/800s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
