Peacock butterfly enjoying the cherry blossom.

Fabulous photo Janey....The white on the flowers is lovely against the butterfly's wings....gone on to my favs...:>)

Aw thanks Moti....:o) I don't think it is newly emerged as the colours are muted, I think maybe it hibernated all winter....don't they love a bit of sun, just like us....:o)

Well captured photo, Janey. : o )

Well caught Janey......

What a beautiful picture Janey and that gorgeous butterfly is an early bird'0))

Why is this butterfly out now??? Isnt it far too early? Great pic of a beauty.

Fantastic photo, Janey. I saw a couple of peacock butterflies in the woods this morning and was a bit surprised but, like you say, they must be enjoying the sunshine :)

what a wonderful photo Janey......

Thanks everyone....I was amazed to see it too....there had been a couple of Tortoiseshells flitting about, they usually are early, but then this Peacock, which loved the new tree.
I hope they have somewhere to shelter, as the cold air comes through again....they seem to be such tough cookies....:o)
