Lush Plush

A pink flamingo at the Toronto Zoo.

Their intense color make flamingos irresistable to me. I can't be around them and not snap photos. Shades and layers. Lush textures. Soft body feathers and neck down that looks as plush as a child's stuffed toy.

Peacock Fan

Peeking through a peacock's tail feathers.

I took this at the Toronto Zoo, in June 2006. Soon after my arrival, a peacock began serenading - fanning out his tail feathers, prancing about, squawking pompously.

His performance made the annual membership fee I'd just purchased seem like a good idea :-)
