"What's riches to him
That has made a great peacock
With the pride of his eye?"

kind of a traditional shot, but i like the polkadot look of the tail, and how well he blends in with the spring colors.

peacocks really are the most amazing birds. they look so regal and arrogant, but i think they need a bunch of little bird pages to follow them around and keep their tails from dragging in the dirt.

i love the idea of something so delicate growing amid the rocks. instead of being overwhelmed by the hardships, it finds a way through and out into the sunlight, much sturdier for the effort than our pampered garden plants, whose every whim is catered to.

i think these flamingos are eating WAY too many shell fish. they’ve gone beyond pink to orange!

the peacocks at the zoo were in fine form today.  i didn’t see the hens but the cocks where showing off for all the admiring people.  i took about a zillion shots and will be putting more up in days to come.
