I saw more butterflies than expected today: a Mourning cloak, 3 Cloudless sulphurs, 1 Gulf fit, 1 Pearl crescent, 1 Fiery and 2 Clouded skippers, and a little blue. The Mourning cloak was the first since spring.
This species, along with a Gulf, Spicebush and one Buckeye, is about all I spotted today in the Dixon Gardens.

This Cloudless Sulpher Butterfly (Phoebis sennae) was sipping on Baja Fairy Duster and was photographed on October 24, 2006 in my Tucson, Arizona backyard. They are quite common here.

Another butterfly, photographed at the Calgary Zoo on May 2nd. Though not as spectacular as many of the tropical butterflies, it is still pretty, especially when the sunlight shines through its wings. Also known as Cloudless Giant Sulphur, with a wingspan of 2.2 - 3.2" (5.7 - 8.1 cm).
This afternoon, our temperature is only 6C (43F) and the Rainfall Warning Alert is still in effect for the city of Calgary. Not sure if it might jinx things if I say it, but this year, we seem to have (so far) avoided a major May snowstorm - yay! Just the amount of rain we are getting here sure turns my thoughts to all those people who have suffered tremendously from recent flooding and, of course, those whose lives have been changed forever by the horrific tornadoes down south. The power of Mother Nature cannot be beaten!

The rugged cliffs of Falcon Clints, on the Pennine Way just below Cauldron Snout waterfall. Formed by volcanic action, this outcrop of Dolerite is part of the Great Whin Sill which runs across northen England. Maize Beck joins the River Tees at this point.
First cloudless day of the year (11/1/14) and tried to make the most of it with rain & wind forecast again. Taken at Burry Port looking towards Cefn Sidan & the Gower.

Phoebis sennae. The flowers are flame acanthus, Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii, at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center.
These big sulphurs were the only butterflies we saw on cultivated flowers @ Gibbs Gardens on Friday. All others were on wildflowers.

Phoebis sennae. A little bit of motion blur, but it is pretty hard to get an in-flight shot of any kind of sulphur butterfly, so I'll take it. Wildflower Center, Austin.

This guy was huge as he had been eating all week. I took this shot this morning but later, when I went out into the garden, he was gone. I'm hoping that he wandered off to pupate and a bird didn't get him.
Callaway Gardens - yesterday
Callaway was covered in butterflies yesterday so if you live anywhere within driving distance, go now! Stars of the show were easily the Cloudless sulphurs - we saw 100 or more. Gulf fritillaries were also numerous. Missing were the Ladies - not a single one of either species. And surprisingly no Monarchs - they must have moved through there already. The only swallowtails were Tiger's and 2 Black swallowtails that kept flying around but not landing. Lots & lots of skippers.

I followed this Cloudless sulphur (Phoebis sennae) yesterday as it flitted from one Encore azalea 'autumn rouge' flower to another. She let me get closer and closer until she finally let me get really close for this iPhone 12 mini shot.
