Very beautiful feathers. Such exquisite detail that you have captured here. Do we get to see the whole bird? and how did you get so close to Mr. Peacock?

@Marion: I do have photos of the whole bird, but at a distance. ;(
He came to a fence near the entrance to the park, where some of the workers feed them, so this one was hanging around looking for a few crackers. I looked down over the fence to get these shots.

Peacocks always take me by surprise by their Grace and Beauty, who could ever doubt Spiritual creation?

@Jen: Thank you, Jen.

3 incredibly different feather patterns. I like how you framed the shot. They are a walk piece of feather art.

For me, peacock feathers are an example of God's extravagance in creation; he spares no details in creating beauty - colors, form, textures, sounds, function, and yes in some of his creatures, personality. I put in a Bella update at my site since you posted; thank you for making the connection between my posted image today and prayers for our sweet girl.

@Viewfinder: This is the first time I've had the chance to be this close for photos and was more than amazed when I saw my photos on the PC. Of course full-sized they are even more miraculous.
PS: I left you an updated short note on Bella on your posted image, VF.
@chris chisu: Thank you, Chris; I appreciate your comment.
@Fliss: Thank you very much.
@Evi: Thank you again ... I appreciate your comments.
