Brimstone butterfly

I am thrilled to have taken this photo. Brimstones visit our garden every summer, but I've never seen one actually have a lengthy rest in it, let alone allow me to get this close with my giant macro lens and pap it repeatedly.

I know I've seen a male flitting about as well, but it's probably too much to ask the brimstones for another photo-op this year.
