It's all dreary out again.  Apparently we can't have a sunny day two days in a row lately.  Doesn't feel so cold when it's sunny out.  I'm thinking of warmer days of course so decided to brighten up the day with a lovely butterfly.  I captured this guy sitting on the Mickelson trail in South Dakota.  I tried to look up what kind it is on a few websites of common butterflies for SD but apparently it was a traveler as well as I could not find it.  It's wing and head shape and even some markings are very Monarch like but it is definitely not that.  I thought it was lovely though so still sharing.  Hopefully I will get an ID from someone.
