I went to Wilkerson Farms yesterday to buy more grass fed local beef. Yum! One of the owners, Carrie, has a lovely garden of coneflowers and zinnias in front of her house. I was so delighted to see the yellow Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly fluttering from flower as well as a Buckeye, American Lady, Silver Spotted Skipper, Sulphur of some sort, and several other Skippers and smaller butterflies that I'm not sure of the ID of. It was seriously a butterfly paradise, and I snapped away both before and after making the transaction that I'd come to do. Carrie even had sunflowers! Wow!
I did a lot of pp on this one to remove the background. There was a lot of dead, brown flower in it.

These two sulphurs floated together with one being kindof still and feeding and the other never slowing down. They carried on this way the entire time I was there.

Love the probiscus on this Silver Spotted Skipper! Wish he was farther left on the flower though.

What a cute tiny Skipper!

No clue about this tiny guy but yet another variety of butterfly in the garden.
