Feathered findings
Filed Under Outdoor Wednesday | 33 comments
Camera in hand, I took out for a brisk morning walk. The air was moist from the previous evening showers. Colors seemed to pop!
Down a brick path and around some Boston ferns I heard soft quacks coming from the bushes.
“Good morning Mama!” I startled her…she was NOT happy that I was near her lil darlings. I whispered, “be careful, don’t spoil them or they grow up to be dirty lil rats!” 
Then I saw him… I had heard him squawk, but could not find him. Then Mr. P hopped down from a railing above me. (ok I said a wee bit of a swear word…sorry) He was not interested in posing at all. He turned and walked away. He did have a nice hind end veiw though.
On my way back to my car I could hear him squawk from a distance VERY loud… I turned and saw him in all his Glory… he had changed his mind on posing… (I guess guys can do that too, you know, change their minds!)
Now for your close up!
Some mornings, its difficult for me to focus through the tears.
Now go check out other Outdoor Wednesday celebrators!

Well, oh yes. This is the outdoors!!!!!!! Incredible and look at that peacock. As a teenager I worked at an amusement park that had a herd(?) of peacocks…noisy, but beautiful. Thanks for visiting my blog and I have chained up those items you mentioned and I’ll be watching for you. Happy Outdoor Wednesday
What amazing photographs. I loved walking with you. We’ll have to do it more often. Have a wonderful day.
Beautiful pics, are you walking in Utah? and the ‘Pink’ pictures are amazing too! You said you had relatives in Driggs, that is only 30 minutes away, it’s a small world after all!!!
Fabulous photos & great story telling.
Wow! Your photography is amazing! And that peacock is so majestic!…Christine

Forgot to mention that it sounds like you speak from experience regarding the duck Momma and so my kids and I are coming for a visit! me and all 4 of them..haha!! Where should we go to get there?
By the way…they ARE spoiled rotten and I love them dearly.
Your blog is just beautiful.

The feathered you found truly amazing. Great shots and post.
I so enjoyed taking a walk with you. Such a lovely view to start with. Then to end with a peacock showing all his feathers. Visiting your blog was absolutely delightful!

Claudia, Was all of this majestic beauty outside your home and neighborhood? ‘Cause it is absolutely breathtaking! You’ve captured such beauty in nature, let me tell ya. See, that is why you got that e-mail about using “other people’s” photos! That person thought they were professional pics!
I am honored that you came by for your “Sue fix.” haha I pondered as to what I would say… But, heck, I just talked to my keyboard and out came the words…. Isn’t it just odd that some people just don’t get irony and satire and our type of personality ?! I have to say, I still do think I’m funny…… Too bad you’re way out there in Utah- we could be commiserating together in person. And we could be fascinating each other with our own special brand of humor and satire!
I subscribed to your feed, couldn’t figure out the Follower password/sign-in thing on your sidebar. Am I missing something or what? =:-0 Sue
Wwwwooooowwwwww I would love to wake up in the morning and see that gorgeous view of the plants, flowers,mountain – everything!
And my look at the beautiful peacock. Such a beauty to behold – loving its color
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
