Found this lovely butterfly in the gardens of Calke Abbey a few weeks ago. This is a Peacock butterfly, which are a delight to the eye with their big blue eyes fluttering at you!!

Pretty butterfly, I also like the softness of the photo. I hope to get a few butterfly photos when I meet up with Hilda in Iowa in a couple weeks!

I love the soft focus Ann and the way the light is playing on the gorgeous butterfly. The whole effect is to make the butterfly look almost computer generated. It's a keeper Ann.

This whole image seems to be filled with sunshine Ann - a beautiful butterfly and the softer focus adds to the dreamy summer day feel.

Such a colourful Butterfly with great markings
The misty focus affect, & bright lighting give this upload a airy artist feel of a positive nature. :o)

Well done Ann
