Butterfly Love: Photo Of The Day

Photographer Julie Castillo caught a glimpse of a sunflower getting some love from a butterfly.

ALAMEDA, CA — Maybe this butterfly thought they found a friend or just thought this sunflower matched their outfit. Likely they were just getting some delicious nectar but either way this butterfly sure looks beautiful resting on this sunflower.

Julie Castillo took this photo from the Ballena Bay on the south coast of Alameda, admiring this yellow butterfly sitting on a glorious sunflower.
