These are some pretty awesome pics. Amazing to see all of the variety. Here's a few of mine. Not quite as nice as the others on here. The first one is on granite near a small stream close to Yosemite. It's a fairly common butterfly in California. I used to know the name-- but sorry I've forgotten and cannot locate my notes. 2nd is a Blue Morpho.

Thanks. I knew it had "California" in the name--just couldn't remember the rest.
