Atlanta is in my eyes too far in the East to be Rutulus.

Thankyou AndrésHernández, unfortunately, I could not get a clearer shot. A mean looking park Ranger got me and told me off because I was climbing the rocks. I've read the 'no climbing' sign but this beautiful yellow big butterfly just too pretty to be missed .....
