New Peacock Triptych Just Posted

I have a fondness for peacocks, as long as they don't live in my backyard!  I just love how proudly they show off their colors to entice the female peahens.  I wanted to try making a triptych, one of those 3 panel acrylic photographs.  They look great behind your couch.  I also added a whimsical t-shirt with the back on the back. LOL.  I hope you think this one is special.

Shenandoah Animals 2019

Red-tailed hawk at Big Meadows, a bird with a bad wing.  We saw the hawk at a raptor lecture.



Kookaberra and other animals at the Luray Zoo.

Goat that wants attention.

It always tastes better on the other side.

A goat with a beard is not necessarily male.



I loved this photo.  The Blues Brothers and Snowball, the peacocks at Brookside Cabins.  They had just lost most of their fan feathers, so closeups were better and I had to put my lens right up to the cage to make the wires disappear.

Peacocks at Catoctin Wildlife Preserve May 1, 2019

I love to look at peacocks, even though they are slightly obnoxious.  Their iridescent colors are just beautiful.

Hana Highway Maui Hawaii

May 9th.  I really like looking at colorful peacocks, although the birds are actually quite obnoxious at times.  So when we had the chance to photograph some, I took quite a few shots.






I spotted this gardenia.  The ones in my garden at home never look this good!  It helped that it had been raining earlier, so you can see some raindrops on the petals.

                  Gardenia

Often leis are made from the white and yellow plumeria or frangipani flower.  There are also many other colors, but I've mostly seen white and dark pink ones in Hawaii.  The flower has many other names, depending on their location in the world and they smell heavenly.  
For more information, I enjoyed looking at this website, even though it is a commercial site: http://www.allthingsfrangipani.com/frangipanis.html  I even brought back some perfume made from the blooms.

            Plumeria

The Hana highway has some gorgeous waterfalls.  These were photographed with a slow shutter and a tripod to create a dreamy look.
