This tiny butterfly (skipper) was fairly cooperative and allowed a few images to be taken while it looked for nectar in the zinnia flowers. After a few minutes, it fluttered off to search for some peace and quite.

I do like #1 and 2! Something about the composition in #3 is bothering me. Colors and exposure are great on all 3.

Thank you all for your comments. Garret, I think the comp issue on image three is that the skipper might be too centered left/right.
