I could see no injury, in fact he looked just about perfect, but maybe he's been migrating and just needs a rest. I've been trying for years to photograph butterflies, and this time I got lucky.

Ready for his closeup
Fresh southerlies sprang up this morning, and I was outside enjoying the coolness when I spotted this fellow crawling among the succulents. Then he walked across the steps and up the side of another pot, seemingly unable to fly.

Absolutely gorgeous!
Great shot. Trying to photograph butterflies always frustrates me.
Very pretty.
