PEACOCK ... basking in the sunshine

Wonderful combination :)

Beautiful, have seen quite a few butterflies in this recent sunshine.
The Brimstone have been so vivid!

ooooooooooh, wonderful! and good for you for getting such a lovely pic of it, I've only seen fluttery blurs go past

Thanks Waddy, Shirl and Fran ...
I was lucky that this Peacock stayed still for quite a while so that I could get the camera in place !

That's flutterbys Fran, nice pic Terratoonie , Roy.

It is so early in the season too.

wow, what an amazing capture. Talk about being in the right place.

I'm pleased you like the photo ...

You're right Bathgate ... I was lucky to be in the right place.

Terra - I read the title and thought I was going to see a Peacock (the bird type) in your garden! Beautiful photo :o)

Wonderfull capture Terratoonie the photo is lovely with colours of crocus and the Peacock butterfly.

Beautiful photo. I saw a small tortoiseshell today which was a surprise as I didn't think they came till late summer.Have also seen the brimstone & a peacock.

Wow an amazingly bright and beautiful photo TT well caught, aren't the Butterflies and Bees enjoying this warm spell - as are we all :o)

Lovely photo Terra..seen one or two here as well,but no camera with me ! and a couple of ladybirds..:o)

Fantsatic Picture Terra and lucky you having Butterflies!

Brimstone here and I hardly saw a tortoiseshell last year so lovely to see one on my crocus the other day.
yours looks a lovely big healthy specimen Terra, very artistic the way its sitting on the crocus!

Hi Shirley ..
not Captain Peacock from Are You Being Served ?? ;o)

Thanks 3d, Feverfew, Neena, Sandra, Carole and Pam ..
I realise I was lucky to get the photo ...
... very kind of the butterfly to pose so prettily :o)

What a lovely happy photo Terra! I hope you are having lovely sunshine today...we aren't, but I think you all deserve a break after the winter you've had down there!

Thanks Karen ...
We had lovely blue skies today .. I hope you get more sunshine soon !

:) Thanks! :)

On my favourites and entered for Goypedia under Butterflies and also Crocus superb photo TT :o)

Thank you Neena ...
The butterflies are visiting early this year !

Wonderful TT.... I tried to take a pic of peacock butterflies in garden, but they were to busy chasing each other...lol

Thank you Holly ...
I was lucky that this Peacock was very co-operative.
Lol.

:))))))))

Stunning TT

Hi Kath ..
Thank you :o)

Very lovely Tt! Like you I've been watching the butterflies and bees, haven't they been enjoying the sun!

Thanks Janey ...
yes, the warm sunshine has brought out lots of bees and butterflies :o)

Wow that's a beautiful picture Tt, adding to faves :-)

Hi Kathy ...
thanks so much ... I was lucky to have my camera handy ... and a very co-operative butterfly ! :o)

Too right TT. They pose for you then flit off a split second before you push the button! Or close their wings and show their camouflage. The bright bits of sunshine have tempted them out.

Added to favs and GOY nominated - cos its luvverly TT :)

Fab piccie TT ~ You had your camera ready just at the right moment!

WOW! What a great shot & so early in the year as well! I haven't seen any butterflies on my Crocuses! :-((

I saw my first butterflies of the year when we were over in Cuenca, Spain visiting friends & family during the first 12 days of the month.

The last few days on the allotments I've seen lots of butterflies - I think they were only Tortoiseshells. Seen lots of bees as well.

Thanks Beehappy, Tracey and Balcony ...
let's hope it will be a great year for butterflies :o)

Great capture TT. I am eagerly awaiting your spring garden photos!!

Thanks Dotty ...

Hi Gillian ... thank you :o)

Hello Warwick .. thanks :o)

We've seen lots of bumbles bees and a few butterflies here too.
