Dana and I have been venturing out around the town and local areas, trying to capture new and interesting places to practice our skills. After the last snowfall, we drove out to the far side of town to a remote lake which features a covered bridge and a small waterfall. After spending well over an hour out in the brisk air, I was frozen to the bone and we (I) made the decision to get back in the warmth of the car and trek off to a new location.
Not much further down the road is our local Humane Society, animal shelter and a rescue zoo. Dana and I made a “pinky promise” not to go into the shelter. With 5, much loved, pets between us, either of us needs another animal in our homes. We knew enough not to be tempted. To our misfortune, the zoo area was closed, but after peering through the fencing we spied a flock of peacocks. Their brilliant colors stood out against the sparkling white snow, a sight we could not pass up. Suddenly, I was forgetting about my frozen toes and fingers.

Great shot! I think I would have forgot about the cold, too. :)
Nice capture
Good idea on not going in! I wouldn't be able to come out without one as well :O) This bird is just beautiful and I love how you captured it! Don't worry, as soon as I perfect my B&W's I'll teach you!
What beautiful shot- spectacular!
Wow...that's all I can say! What a beautiful image! And I'm with you on staying out of the humane societies. We're always coming home with another sweetie to add to our bunch!! ;)
How delightful too see!
Nice shot!
Brisk is putting it nicely. I believe the comment I had was "Jack Frost was literally standing in front of me attempting to bite my nose off".
Beautiful shot though- the peacock looks like he's posing just for you!
I am loving your photos! I am partial to all the beautiful dogs! Really nice!
I really like this shot too. That bird is so beautiful, how could you not take a picture of it! :)
What a cool shot. It's trippy to see them in the snow. We have peacocks roaming around here all over the place.
Very cool shot!
I love this shot!
This is beautiful! I love this shot!
