I didn't get a chance to post my lilacs clear back from spring.  So many flowers, so little time...  Now I miss them!

I took this by holding the camera directly above the thistle bloom and hoping the camera could find a suitable focus.  All the thistle blooms were either too far off the ground or oriented in such a way that looking through the viewfinder wasn't an option.

Can anyone identify the butterfly?  I'm thinking it's a skipper, possibly a silver-spotted skipper.  But that is just a guess.
