Silver Spotted Skipper
One of the two locations my wife and I stopped at on Sunday was the Franklin D. Roosevelt Historic Site in Hyde Park. With it being hot and humid out, we mainly stayed around the garden area to look for butterflies and insects.
Armed with my macro lens and a little patience, I tried to photograph as many species as I could find. From big to small, no insect or butterfly could hide from me. I was extremely happy with the results. Let’s hope I can sneak another visit there soon!
