Facebook 7 Day Nature Challenge. I tend to photograph everything and don't think I have a natural talent, but I do get some good shots occasionally. This photo of a butterfly in our backyard is one I think is pretty decent. This not a butterfly we have seen before. If my identification skills and the internet are correct this is a Red Admiral butterfly
Vanessa atalanta (Linnaeus, 1758). If you are curious you can find out more at http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Vanessa-atalanta
Today I nominate Elise Castro, an excellent professional photographer. Even though she specializes in Weddings and people, I bet she has some lovely nature shots.
