Very nice! I love the little white tropical skipper.
ThreeC, me too! Never seen it before until yesterday.
Wow, can't wait until you get a long trip through this park. Great shots Dani.
Yeah, yesterday was rushed. John took the day off to take me to the doc. and when we were done, we had maybe 40 min. before we had to pick Elizabeth up from school.
Had to go look up this frogfruit! Loves the name :-)
So beautiful...
Froggy, of course! ;0
MS, I'm gonna have to go there again soon. Didn't have nearly enough time yesterday.
Happy Birthday, Dani!!!! I love all of your photos...the chickens, the 'walk' and the flutterbys!

The flutterbies love Bidens!
I am not crazy about the seeds though!
Great captures Dani!
I am amazed at the variety of butterflies you were able to photograph and document. Once again you are my nature star!
I used to have tons of skippers years ago. Where are they? What are their host plants?
