I was out picking chili petins (Chiltepins) when I spotted this beautiful butterfly on the wild mums next to me...I didn't have my camera so I just sat and watched it wondering what kind of butterfly it was...I then decided to run and grab the camera as it was staying on the plant moving from bud to bud...Thank goodness it stayed there until I got back. I was able to get a few photos before it fluttered off...
Gulf Fritillary on a Wild Mum bud.
The backside not as pretty as the side view. Hmm I wonder if that is what Fred thinks of my backside view, LOL.....
For all of you this is what I pick almost daily this time of year. While I'm picking the chili's Michael rides his tractor around and around...Zoom Zoom!! I have about 6 good sized chili plants and I pick the red chilis and put them in the freezer. They are pretty darn HOT and we don't eat them but Grand-Pocka uses them in tamales and makes hot sauce with them. 
And of course what would a day be like if we didn't get a photo of Michael riding his tractor!!

Love these photos and I'm SURE hubby LOVES your backside...lol!!
Do you have Picasa? It's a free download and I thought that butterfly photo could use a little 'POP' ...so I tried the "I'm feelin lucky" button in Picasa and it really pops and looks great! I don't know what I would do without that button!!!
Those butterflies know you! They wait 'cause they know they are going around the world! Great shot of the tree. And ... tell me.... have you got your money's worth out of that tractor yet? LOL!
