This study offers a "study" of the peacock in all its grandeur as the morning sun lights the scenes. Yes, earlier posts from this visit to Mt Barney have featured the peacock but not quite as wonderfully as this morning offered.
The next series show the emergence onto the lawn in the clear morning sunshine, seeking and finding a suitable place for a repose to relax and savour the rays. The range of colour speaks for itself. The final photo of the set offers a wider view of the setting reflecting the peacefulness of the position ... who would not want a position like that?
Enjoy (I will be very surprised if you do not)!

This next shot I love. The emergence into the sunshine peeking above the bush with the small purple flowers as additional contrast. The light was just right from the angle I was taking the photo to showcase the beautiful irridescent sheen of the blue neck and head feathers, the eye and white eye liners and the delicate "fascinator" that would proudly feature at a Melbourne Cup parade😉!
The final set is what I had hoped for and the final morning delivered. While not at all complaining, it is a pity this happened in the shaded bamboo enclosure rather than in full sun ... but I am more than grateful I noticed it happening and was able to obtain the images presented. Quite something! The first two are in full display, the third one just as it is beginning to fold back down ... if you look carefully on the third one, you can even see that peacocks cross their legs while strutting in their model mode 😊. I was also chuffed to time the first and third shots while I was being looked directly in the eye! The second one, yes, a nice profile for contrast!!
