Yesterday I went to the Dunedin, FL cemetary to see the peacocks. I saw only this one and then his mate as I left. It is such a beautiful serene comfortable place with Spanish moss hanging from the trees. Hope you enjoy!
Do you ever find them sitting on the same head stones? I was just wondering if maybe there is a metaphysical element going on with the peacocks. I have never seen a peacock in a cemetary, very interesting choice of hang out.
He is beautiful,Sharon! I am glad you are getting to do some sight-seeing.... and sharing it all with us!
Artist Reply: Thank you, Julie. This is right around the corner from our condo. It takes 3 minutes to get there and another 5-10 minutes to shoot. So I do not really consider this sight seeing; just opening my eyes to what is around me. :) I really have had no time for any leisure and sight seeing, and I am VERY VERY tired. I am up now at 6:30 AM to go get a multi-blood test.
Love,
Sharon
I just love the peacefulness of this shot and the beauty of the bird. I liked the prior photo and loved your painting of it. This is just wonderful. You could call this a beautiful departure and hit it right on the head.
