Time Stand Still, a photo blog: Great Spangled Fritillary??

Great Spangled Fritillary??

I have several photos of this butterfly. I think it is the Great Spangled Fritillary but if you know different, feel free to say so.

I was chasing it down to get these shots...

It kept getting on this Queen Anne's lace that was at eye-level.

I hope you enjoy its beauty as much as I did...but the photos do not do it justice.

I do wonder what they think of us...or do they have any thought at all? They probably just have an instinct for survival.
