Skipper on the Game Board!

The Dear Hunter: <pic>

A common checkered skipper

b1-66er: That's a great shot.

I've never seen one of those.

(Great name, too.)

DH: I don't recall seeing one either. It is in my front yard.

b1: I love love love the framing of that photograph.

Feels almost museum diorama-like.

DH: Good green colorization. 

b1: Yes. 

And the infinite tunnel just to the right of the butterfly...

Making the insect

More bold

&

More delicate

I think of it as a symbol of the delicate sense of nature...

...And whatever the hell that thing is in the upper R corner.

DH: Just a dried up poppy seed head.

b1: AH.

I thought it could be:

a snail

a cocoon

a dead leaf

But for sure whatever it was was a cycle-of-life statement.

Helps round out the picture, immensely.

DH: I went back too see.

I was guessing a snail. 

b1: Yeah.

Again, it's a really great shot.

I just sent it to Special K as a present.
