Photobombed!

Variegated Fritillary butterfly on Zinnia. Photo by Bruce Stambaugh

I was out taking photos of some flowers my energetic wife has cultivated around our home. This patch of Zinnias caught my attention.

Just as I was ready to take the photo, this pretty Variegated Fritillary butterfly landed on a fuchsia-colored Zinnia in the middle of the patch. The lovely photobomb was a welcome addition to these bright flowers and a new focus to the photo.
