Description
The day has gone with gardening, dogs and swimming before I know it and I haven't made any new pics suitable for posting.
So here is one from earlier in the month, taken on Redhill Common, Bournemouth

A magnificent image! Tell it to stop looking at me.
This beauty must be as proud as a peacock sporting those magnificent rich colors and patterns, Andrea. Super image all the way around.

When I have no pics suitable for uploading (re what you wrote above), I either do an awful cartoon, or I blend the last several images and call it 'art'. (That's what I'm about to do this afternoon. Be forewarned.) Andrea, you were one of the artists who I left comments for in the last 2 days, and not one got "on the air". Sorry. I don't know if you got ebots, but if you did, they led nowhere. I like the 'concept'---link-less ebots as conceptual art---but I hope you didn't get plagued. Today, I'm doing different images because I want to get to the other ones "fresh," and that'll take another day or two. Also---boring introduction, here---I did a second session in your gallery last saturday, when ebots weren't happening at ALL (for me); so if you didn't get any ebots then, let me know and I'll tell you which images I did. Just wanted you to know I was here more than once since returning. (I also posted a pic a few days ago where the bots didn't go out to everyone. But it was an awful drawing, so if you missed it, you'll survive, trust me.) Now to your pic! A big bold butterfly capture, really contrasted with those sunlit green leaves. Really strong and popping contrast. Looks like a strong tomato based sauce on top of greens. Not to compare an insect with a sauce, but it came to mind. (I'll get emails from insect-groups now.) And your diagonal composition---butterfly and leaves pointing one way, the right-side leaves the other---makes a nice criss cross. Very bold and beautiful. Glad you didn't toss this, it's an eye popper. (Did you know that butterflies were believed to steal butter? I think because of the buttery hues some butteflies have. Either that or they ate a lotta dry toast and got reeeeeeeallllly tired of it. My jokes suck, ya know that. I should stick to commentary. Another sign of age...)
Beautiful colors in this Peacock Butterfly and an excellent look at the Peacock's "eyes" Nice contrast against the green leaves!
