I think this may be a Pacific Fritillary, but it doesn’t look completely like the photo in my guide book. Some of the fritillaries I’ve taken photos of in the past look very close to the book, so I’m cautious.
Well, I think it’s a ….
Great Spangled Fritillary
I saw this butterfly landing on yarrow up at Camp Handy while out backpacking in the Olympic National Forest. Was glad it stayed around long enough for a photo or two. (confession: I had to look up the identification in a book on my return home)
Fritillary
Nice to have an occasional butterfly along the trail. Even nicer when they stay put long enough that you can get your exposure set.

Western Swallowtail
It took a while to wait for this butterfly to land where its wings were open facing me. I figured it was a little camera shy.
