The Zabulon Skipper, Poanes zabulon, is a small, golden chunky butterfly. They love to find a sunny spot at the edge of the woods or near a road, and sit quietly with spread wings. Their range is, very roughly, east of the Rocky Mountains but doesn’t appear to be numerous in the most northern states.
This picture was taken in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA, on May 23, 2012.

I love nature, science, poetry, prose, art, music – you name it! Now that I’m retired, time is mine to spend as I wish (pretty much), and I wish to take pictures of our natural world.
Bringing the outdoors in for others to see, especially those who may not get the opportunity to wander next to a pond, fish at the beach, or tramp in the woods, is a pleasure. I hope to build a window to the wonders of nature that fill our everyday lives.
