Luck is a Lady

American Lady
Vanessa virginensis

One of the surprises from my hike yesterday was seeing the butterflies coming out again. I was really happy to find this American Lady willing to pose in the sunlight for me.

I know these are here now, had one in the front yard several days ago.

Beautiful shot with a very soft background to enhance it.
