The Elusive Clouded Sulphur

The Elusive Clouded Sulphur
At last! I've been trying for weeks to get a shot of this lone yellow butter fly that has been hanging out in our entryway. 
Every time I approached it, it fluttered up into the trees and disappeared. The Elusive Clouded Sulphur
A few days ago I looked out the kitchen window and saw Ol' Yeller sitting on a snapdragon by the greenhouse door. I grabbed my camera and dashed out -- no butterfly. But I checked out the Pineapple Sage, where I've seen him (or her) before.  The Elusive Clouded Sulphur
I didn't see it at first. These butterflies keep their wings folded when they land and, as the Pineapple Sage's leaves are almost the same yellow, my quarry was well camouflaged.

But at long last, I got the picture!

Several of them. Small victories....
