Enraged seagulls swarm on a bald eagle about 200' directly above my house. The eagle could not have cared less and did not seem at all concerned.

...that's my name for it...I don't know what it really is, but I thought it's worth posting it. I really liked this shot...but not sure why, because it's a little too busy...bu I guess it's the light and shadows that makes it for me. Hope you'll like it, too :))
Update: I went to the website of Butterfly World where this was taken and I found it is a Hebamoia Glaucippe...I still prefer Orange Tip...LOL :))
The Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland notes: The first male Orange-tip of the year is always a welcome sight for butterfly enthusiasts. It is a charming insect that wanders the countryside, along lanes, hedgerows, the edges of woods and gardens, feeding and searching the vegetation for females. The female is more secretive and less conspicuous than the male. She lacks the orange wing tips, which warn of his unpalatability. However she does share with the male the beautiful tree-marbled underside of the hindwing, which acts as camouflage when at rest.
For me this butterfly never sits still with its constant searching, this day I was lucky with this male feeding, I was able to approach carefully and catch this colourful butterfly.

Colotis danae
A prize find on an early morning search for butterflies, insects and other natural spectacles.
A close profile view revealed some precipitation on its eyes. Here, as several other butterflies seen that morning, it was basking, intent on getting a right dose of vitamin E (or warmth) in readiness for a good day of flight and flowers.
