'Dancing Butterfly'

This beautiful 'Peacock' Butterfly has been dancing around our garden, near the house for a few weeks. It has been impossible to get a shot of it ,just kept vanishing into thin air. This morning..we had some lovely sunshine and there was Peacock sunbathing on the step. I was convinced that by the time I had got my camera, changed lenses etc it would have gone...but it stayed there for about five minutes. At last!

What a beauty! I'm chuffed to bits.
