Flutter

Western White Butterfly (I think?), on the Snow Lake Trail, Washington

 

I saw quite a few of these lovely butterflies flitting around on the flowers below a talus slope as I was hiking down from Snow Lake. Fortunately they seemed content to ignore me while I got my camera out and tried to get in a good spot to take a photo. There was also a smaller bright orange one but it did not seem to want to be photographed as it moved every time I pointed the camera in its direction!

 

And I am not at all a butterfly expert, so please feel free to correct me if I have misidentified the species!
