Vanessa cardui
Medium sized orange, brown, black and white butterfly. Eyespots on hindwings. Somewhat scalloped edge to wings. Similar in appearance to the American Lady but has slight differences (see link for comparison).
Urban garden near the water.
This butterfly was extremely active and wouldn't open his/her wings for me at a time where I could photograph them.
