And Another Salute

Another admiral, this one the Red-Spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax), taunted and teased me for nearly an hour, wandering the stone floor of the Abbo's Alley Gazebo and then fluttering outside, in and out, in and out, the darkness too dark and the light too light for that one remarkably satisfying great shot.
Oh, he's a wily one, now blue, now brown, with orange and green spots, white ribbons, and velvety black-and-white spots and stripes.
