The next time I saw him, it was in a field of flowers.
This kind of skipper is called a Silver Spotted. Here is a picture of a plain one I snapped several years ago. No spots.
“Surprise us with love at daybreak; then
we’ll skip and dance
all the day long.”
Psalm 90

You see such amazing things! Things that would be easy to miss if you weren't paying attention!
You caught a pretty skipper! For the past few days, I have been trying unsuccessfully to take a shot of a fluttering butterfly which never stays still. Have a beautiful day!
I agree that when you come across a single butterfly of the same kind a few times in a row, it's nice to think of it as being the same one :)
Fabulous photographs. Many thanks for all your comments on my blog I really appreciate everyone. On holiday I put scheduled posts in but do not comment
I'd like to think it was the same one too.... enjoying being in your company. :)
So these are called skippers.. I thought they are moths from the butterfly family. :)
I LOVE that Bible verse! and your pretty photos. I see a lot of yellow butterflies her and even a hummingbird sometimes!
Have not seen these here.. we have several types but not this one. can't decide if I like with or without spots best. oh well just skip it... ha ha
You must carry your camera around your neck. I don;t know how you get all these. I like your verse - joy comes in the morning. Sandie
What a pretty skipper! Maybe he is the same skipper :-)
The plain skipper is very pretty, too!
Super photos of the Skippers Ginny. A lovely coincidence that we both took photos for our posts. Their markings are always interesting.
I would have also gone with thinking it was the same one. I like the spotted one better than the plain one.
Not sure why all those people were using strollers for their dogs. Maybe they are older dogs or maybe it's just a fashion thing. I can't imagine Gibbs ever staying in one
I had to laugh, I thought you had the skipping rope out Ginny when I read the headline. lol

These are fantastic captures. That's the kind of 'skipping' I could do as well.
I have not even seen many of these! Loved seeing them through your eyes.
Great photos!
