This peacock butterfly on a honeysuckle bush was captured on Saturday, September 26th, 2009 in, yes of course, the garden of my wife.

Hope you'll like it. Thank you in advance for your comment.

The butterfly does look as though it is ready to take off! Beautiful image Cornelius especially with that blue sky providing such a fine background.

The title is great and suits it perfectly.
Wonderful clarity Cornelius - and with your usual lovely light.

Cornelius - A perfect match of title and photo. The colors and crispness on the left are eye popping! The butterfly and flowers set against the deep blue sky are stunning. On the right is a bit of blur in the flowers; perhaps cropping that would be of help. Thad

What a fantastic mixture Cornelius. The gorgeous Peacock Butterfly sitting on a wonderful honeysuckle which surely has one of the best fragrances of any flower. It looks as if you've caught this butterfly at the moment of take-off - what perfect timing.

A great capture of the peacock butterfly sitting on the honeysuckle, Cormelius. That blue sky makes the perfect background. Excellent work.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
