Great capture! Love the details and colors. (The butterflies have been migrating through the SF Bay Area for about a week...they don't land so not sure what kind they are, smallish with orange)

Gorgeous!!! Is it a moth or butterfly? Amazing you were able to see it with all those flowers.

It looks happy too...who wouldn't be with this much perfume.

I saw my fuirst two yesterday, but they were just flitting about.
It's a bit of a colour clash, but certainly an encouraging picture of what lays ahead :)

Such wonderful blossoms, and very popular too ;) Great catch Bev, never seen one that early either.
J. Scott Coile02-Apr-2009 18:36

Oh! Lucky you - I've never seen a Comma around here. The blossom is very lovely!!
Pat Shawyer02-Apr-2009 08:07
Beautiful shot Bev
edwina beaumont02-Apr-2009 07:59
lovely spring combination Bev, such pretty blossom and nice to see the comma, they overwinter and come out when it gets a bit warm to start the next generation
Yvonne02-Apr-2009 07:50
A beautiful capture Bev! We have that same flowering plum tree growing, but its not spring here.
