Friday Flowers- OK, I am Showing off my Butterflies with the Peacock Flowerss!

Posted on October 8, 2010
Orange flowers two black butterflies
I wish they would sit still! And the Flowers are called Peacock Flowers

Today the sky was cloudy and the butterflies seemed to like it! They were out in numbers but they were so restless. I wish they would sit still just for a second so that I would not get such blurry photos. Oh this is a post about flowers I guess. I hope you like seeing the Orange Flowers day after day 😀

The best part till now about the butterflies is that they tend to ignore my presence mostly. The peacock flowers ignore me too 😀

Three is Crowd?

I have more pictures left, so be prepared to see butterflies through Saturday and Sunday too. Thankfully I am traveling next week. And it is a secret till I come back 😀

    I think you did amazingly well considering that butterflys dont stand still for long. Well done and thanks for the beautiful pics!
