New Butterfly

A couple days ago on my way to the clothesline I noticed some butterflies fluttering around.  One of them stayed sitting on the ground long enough for me to sneak up close and get a few shots. 

May 7 (7)

It was not a butterfly I recognized so I looked it up online.  

May 7 (10) It is called a Mourning Cloak.

  6. Great capture!
    The first time I saw one of these it was all closed up and I thought a piece of wood was on the side of my house until I went to flick it off and the butterfly flew away. :)
