Hi everyone,
I spent the day at the Los Angeles arboretum where they let the peacocks run the place. I think the geese and peacocks are separate gangs and fight for control. Here's two shots of one of the peacocks.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hey Tim,

    I love your shots! Really inspired me to get and and shoot my own peacock tonight...he's on the dinner table now rolleyes1.gif .

    Mine didn't turn out quite as nice as yours, but it's the first decent shot I've gotten of him, so thanks!

    Love the flowers too...hydrangeas?

    Good stuff, Tim! Perfect DOF on the flowers (and peacock for that matter).
