20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Artful pose of Skipper Butterfly on Zinnia
It amazed me when I shot this image early sunny afternoon in our backyard the first day of Autumn 2022 for what I saw in the design of the Skipper butterfly. When it lifted its upper set of wings, it reminded me of an elephant head with flared ears and trunk. Nature provides some exciting art of its own. I am glad that I caught this back side of the butterfly as it lowered its head to pollinate the Zinnia.
