Peacock Butterfly

Peacock Butterfly During fall rooftop deck gardening, I spotted this magnificent Peacock Butterfly hovering over a daisy. Its splendor was mesmerizing as it flew out of sight. I was so taken by its magnificence that I was drawn back to where I had seen it, to find it perched on a daisy.
