Peacock butterfly

I feel like I could reach out and touch it!!

He's lovely - seeing more and more butterflies in the garden over the last few days.

We still have many meadow brown ones and white ones but I'm getting a bit worried as the butterfly bushes are all out but not many pretty ones around :-(

you had your camera ready at the right moment Spritz .. well done !

very pretty spritz.

Luuuuuurvly :~))

I took quite a lot of photos with his wings closed...just in case he opened them...then he did! :-)

Great photo.

Great photo Spritz.....

I just stood still for a long time!!!!! (all the other photos got deleted, heehee)

lovely shot spritz

Beautiful pic Spritz.....aren't the markings gorgeous, with those huge "eyes".....

I think it's the brightest native butterfly in the UK, isn't it?

Yes...it probably is......:o)

Pretty pic :o)

Lovely shot. Haven't seen a peacock this year yet. WIth all this rain it makes me wonder if I will.

beautiful photo
