I have been out most of the day today at a friend's house setting up various things on her computer. Also I am at a complicated part of my family history story write up too, so photography is taking a bit of a back seat at the moment. I thought I would post a few photos taken at Montsalvat over the next few days. Hope you find them interesting.
I spotted this peacock at Montsalvat and he didn't seem to mind being photographed.
I called this photo "Not so proud" because if you look closely, his tail feathers appear to have been plucked. Not sure what that is all about, but he isn't going to be able to mesmerise the ladies without his spectacular feathers is he. Hope they grow back.
Montsalvat is an artists' colony at Eltham in Victoria and is a super place for photography, so if anyone is ever in that area do drop in. You can get a fantastic lunch there too in the restaurant.
If anyone is interested here is a link to the history of Montsalvat.
A handsome bird ...beautifully positioned there...I know you didn't oersonally position him there but great catch Babs! He does look a little out of proportion!
Beautiful in spite of his lack of tail feathers Babs, I like the way you have composed this. Great capture. I do lots of family history as well and it is very time consuming as well as fascinating!
@thistle Thanks Joyce. I have been tracing my family history for quite a while now and I am not putting the whole story together. It is amazing what we find out when we dig isn't it. Definitely some interesting stories along the way.
@kathiecb Ha ha, thank you so much Kathie. Never heard that saying before. He was quite tame and didn't move as I got closer. I think he was looking at his reflection in the window to see if his tail had grown back.
