Busy skipper

I still have a few pictures left from visits to the monastery and arboretum, mainly of skippers since there weren’t too many butterflies and hardly any birds.

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

Examining the crape myrtle, posted earlier:

other sizes: small medium large original auto
