 So after staying up late last night processing images from an evening photo session, I was awoken at 5 AM by one of my lovely kitties. Instead of going back to sleep as I usually do, I thought I'd go out to catch the sunrise and start day one out right! Took lots of shots, thought I got some nice sun through clouds close-ups. Looked at them on the computer and they were horribly grainy -- realized I had never reset the ISO after last night and it was still set to 1250. Doh! Ah well. So I ended up with this for the day, just a peacock in the road. It is a bit odd to have wild peacocks in a rural New Mexico neighborhood though!

Interesting find. There are no interesting looking birds to be seen where I live.

Wow I love the rolling hills and the peacock seems so out of place it is wonderful. What a great and slightly surreal start to your 50 days!!!

How lucky are you? I'd love to see peacocks running around. This one looks like it has gorgeous feathers as well.

I would love to live in a place with wild peacocks. This is incredible! Great way to start your morning.

That is awesome! Where I live, we never see things like this. I love the hilly road, great pic!

Wow. I love the colors. So... Why DID the peacock cross the road?

I've never seen a wild peacock before. In south Florida, they have wild parrots and iguanas.

Why did the peacock cross the road, indeed. What really needs to be addressed is, What colour is a peacock's egg?

Yeah, wow, that undulating road...

funnybumps! (that's what my kids call the ones that make your tummy go wheeee! do those work?)

This is a really cool shot, almost a surreal feel to it.

Actually, that undulating road is pretty cool, but I also like the peacock in unexpected surroundings.

cool! i like the way the peacock is creating that horizontal line by crossing he road, and in the background we are going uphill in fits and starts, leaving a broken double yellow line. nice compo!
