A butterfly resting

When Esme and I visited the small city of Retalhuleu (Reu) in south-western Guatemala we also had a pleasant walk close to this city. We saw a lot of butterflies that day, many species, but I consider this photo the best I took that day.

A smaller version of the above butterfly photo is also available as a display picture for MSN Messenger and Skype: Butterfly display pictures.
