(We are going through envelopes of Laurie's old photos, in the pre-blogging days, having good ones loaded onto my hard drive. Periodically, I will be posting some of these. Today, for example:)
These are from Victoria's Beacon Hill Park, around the year 2000.I recognize the site, but it still looks to me like something out of a fantasy novel; no real place could look that stylized! Even the pigeons look posed.
That large, greyish bird across the stream is a white peacock. Here, I'll have him turn around for you:
I don't know if this is a breed, or if he's albino. (With a tint of pink. Some hanky-panky with flamingos back in his ancestry?)
It's hard work, keeping our enthusiastic B.C. vegetation cropped and shaven and orderly.And everybody needs a nap sometime.
Tomorrow: back to the real world. Rainy days, mud and weeds. And hopefully, a duck or two.
