Butterflies! American Lady and a Painted Lady feeding on Kay Martin's heather bush

Kay Martin's heather bush is in full bloom and, as she put it, butterflies are kissing the blossoms. She photographed a lovely American Lady Butterfly nectaring on the plant.

Then another butterfly arrived - this one was a Painted Lady.

Thanks to Kay for allowing me to share her photos and thanks to Ron LeValley for the identification of these beauties.
