this is a Gulf Fritillary butterfly (Agraulis vanillae), and seems to be a male. had been seeing them recently.. around me. but they being so restless, a dorsal view was becoming a dream :)
then, at last. on my second day at the Shelby Farms Park.

while in India, i used to see these butterflies on my computer screen.. it was one of those butterflies which had both the views: dorsal & ventral, so attractive! i wished i could see them someday for real.. well, then here i am :)

happy to share my fourth butterfly species from United States. thanks for viewing.

An extremely eye pleasing capture of this very colourful Fritillary, Ruby. You are now coming into your true spirits in America and getting connected with its nature in a warm synergy.
All the best, young lady!

Hello Ruby,
Seems like Shelby Farms Park has been a dream place for you lately...almost like treasure Island. I love this shot of the Gulf Fritillary as it shows it off very well. The fully opend winged pose gives us a great view of it's beautiful colors and attractive markings.

PS. I had to check out Shelby Farm Park on the web and it looks like a great place to spend the day with a camera. It said it is one of the largest urban parks in the United States.

Hello Ruby,
Another marvelous composition. It is a perfect photo taken from a good POV. Splendid butterfly species with very interesting colors and shape. The details are fantastic. Very sharp and excellent capture.
Thanks for sharing!
Marius.
