A few minutes ago I was checking to see what was around the pond when I saw a shape fluttering across. For a brief moment I thought it was a dragonfly. It landed on some gravel near the pond and stayed long enough to take a few shots.
The first Peacock Butterfly of the year:
Brilliant Sunshine but the air temperature is only 14.3C.
Same cropped photo process using the ReDynaMix plugin:
The oval on each photo is the Ellipse border from the Border Mania plugin.
Spring has sprung! So nice to see a butterfly ...
ReplyDeleteReally nice capture!!! I can never get the darn things to open their wings when I get the camera into focus! And by the time they do open their wings, they're off. Good job:)
ReplyDeleteA very good early sighting John.
ReplyDeleteYes Wilma. It was unusual for me to see one so early in the year.
ReplyDeleteRohrerbot Mar: Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment. I think it was trying to warm up in the Sun so kept its wings open for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteRoy. I was quite astounded to spot it. I'm normally moaning that everyone else sees them weeks before I do.
