Happy Birthday, Dr. John!

  • Brian says:

    Love the picture of OC. No, not the peacock one, the one surfing. ;)

  • Melli says:

    And UP! The peacock is UP… and you were UNDER him…. sounds like a dangerous situation to me! I’m just SAYin’! ;)

  • That is such a beautiful bird. Is it the same one you’ve posted photos of in the past or do you have a whole flock living near you?

  • Gattina says:

    how does one post a wordless comment?
    wow!

  • Brig says:

    Ack. Peacocks on the ground are okay. Large birds overhead, and my phobia kicks in.

  • Dr. John says:

    It is indeed under. Good pictures.

  • Reba says:

    Whoof!! What a woofenderful “U”!

  • Alice says:

    WOW! These photos are so beautiful!! Sooo impressive!

  • Jules~ says:

    Is that taken where you live?
    I bet you never tire of those beautiful birds.

  • Robert says:

    Oh I really like the second one a lot. The color on the face looks great. I can’t believe we’re almost done with this!

  • Carletta says:

    Beautiful photos!
    Not sure I want to be underneath though :)

    Jiente — he does live in “our” garden — the garden called Makaha Valley. He is neither domestic or tame, but lives somewhere inbetween friendly handouts and nature’s bounty.

    Brian — naughty! It was wasted though because OC only reads my blog when it is about him.

    Melli — note my angle. I was quite safe. Mostly.

    Karen — many, many peacocks inhabit Makaha Valley. I know there are at least four full grown males because all saw all of them together on the main lawn (near the pool and the mail kiosk) one morning.

    Baba — so nice of you to pause and leave a personal message.

    Gattina — my W photo will be a shot of a very prosaic item.

    Jill — right now it is buried under gray skies and pouring rain.

    Mar — you deserved it!

    Juliana — :x

    Brig — since he flew up there in an attempt to escape me and my stalking camera, I wasn’t too worried. He wanted nothing to do with me.

    Dr. John — thank you! And happy birthday, again.

    Reba — you are such a polite dog!

    Alice — I literally took hundreds just to get a few good ones.

    Jules — yes. The peacocks live on the grounds of two condo complexes, the golf course, and the resort here at the top of Makaha Valley.

    Robert — that vivid peacock blue seems to jump right off the screen, doesn’t it? I am both excited and sad about being finished. I need some breathing space, but I’m afraid my friends will all wander off and find better thingsd to do then visit me.

    Carletta — I was further away then zoom would lead you to believe. Honest.

  • Andrew says:

    nice shots! :)

  • Robert says:

    Hmmm, this is weird. I clicked on the Violin pictures to leave a comment but all of these comments seem to be about the peacock pictures. At any rate, nice capture for V as well.

  • Quilly says:

    Andrew — thank you.

    Robert — you left a comment here a few days ago. You do remember that the comment button is BENEATH the title of the post, yes?
