   This is really beautiful. Its interesting to see different variations of a species. The only checkerspot I’m familiar with is the Harris Checkerspot. I did butterflies today too!

   I’d say it has something special about it – it’s perfect! (Not sure though how you rank yours – they are all just about perfect!)

   I really do admire your work Klaus, this is about as good as I’ve ever seen… I came here after visiting Abe Lincolns ‘Red Spotted Purple’ and both you and him inspire me with your shots.

   Very nice photograph and a good one to make a poster print. Being from the north I have never seen this species of butterfly.

   I don’t think my comment registered, so I’ll try again.

   This is an outstanding photo. Beautiful piece of art work.

   How perfect….like a flower blooming at the end of a stem. The texture is so real, I want to reach out and touch it. Beautiful in every way.

   Terrific butterfly. I have never seen one like that. I don’t remember seeing many butterflies at all when I lived in Florida.

   Oh..where do I start..First visit..AMAZING..all of the photos are so vivid. The heron is favorite on mine. I struggled to get a photo of one standing on a swingset near our pond Wednesday. It was so funny…
