Description
A Gulf Fritillary butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) hangs from a white flower on a shrub in central Texas as it leisurely sips nectar. A tiny brown and white spider did not appreciate the visitor, but could not convince it to leave. The Gulf Fritillary, named because of its annual migration across the Gulf of Mexico, is fairly widespread in our area. It is not a true fritillary. It prefers to lay its eggs in or near passionvines, which were nearby.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I am an opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer to capture the spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring, and rarely photograph staged subjects other than portraits. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I have only started posting them for others to see since about September 2012. Please see my largest collection of photographs posted at http://500px.com/holmesidepi. I had sufficient encouragement from posts on other sites to try putting some up for sale on Fine Art America (FAA), which offers a wide range of printing and mounting options not currently available on 500px. As a result, I have successfully sold some of my works. Unfortunately, photography is not my primary field, and I have limited time to expand my online presence, but I will continue to steadily post more of my best works on 500px and/or FAA every week. Please revisit my sites periodically.
