[ back story - went to take Saxon, the German Shepard puppy - into the back yard to " do business " and saw something on the railing, no camera so SOL, I thought. But it stayed around long enough for me to for Saxon to have do " dirt " and for me to return to the house, put her in the crate and to grab the K 1 II and the SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro [ non WR ] to see what I could grab as it moved along the deck's railing ]

Since I have an automatic slot in the August Contest, based on being among the top posters in June and July, I am thinking we won't make the minimum posts needed to hold the raffle

:D :D
sounds good to me
I have been doing my best toward the " collective good " so I don't have to post anything to be in the raffle [ top 10 in June and July get free entry ]
if it is even held

I had noticed the bIF when I snapped the shutter on the pollinator,
the other insect was a " surprise " when I looked at the photos at home

sorry about the little blurring
when trying to capture this image, I noticed that the butterfly never completely stopped moving its wings

I think some of the subtle coloration may be reflected light off of the blossom
could that be correct ?
