~Butterfly of New Mexico~ [Contest Finalists August 2005]
Uploaded: August 22, 2005 07:43:26
This was taken in Albuquerque, NM while walking around taking pictures. I took it in the afternoon using my digital and hand held. I am not sure of the name but loved the bright orange with the pink flowers. I thought I would give you all some other pictures from NM and post more sunsets later. I have a lot to show you from the trip. Hope you all have a super Monday!
