arcadia

arcadia california is known for it's peacock population. they are everywhere! we love to drive around and admire these beauties. after bailey's vet visit yesterday, and since she had to relieve herself anyway, we cruised on over to look for a good lawn and some peacocks. of course we didn't have to drive long to find either.

"hello mr peacock"

isn't he gorgeous?

across from the street from the santa anita race track, in arcadia (california), is the los angeles county arboretum and botanic garden. the famous inhabitants of the arboretum are peafowl and as if the 127 acres isn't enough space for them, they fly out of the arboretum and you can often find them roaming the nearby neighborhoods. this was the perfect place to photograph animals for this week's photo challenge.

this guy's got it made in the shade.

"grrrr"

we were in triple digits, so finding a shady spot to rest was a good idea.

"strange creatures, don't you think?"

you really have to be careful driving around these streets because they walk wherever they want! this young lady was walking alongside our car.

the highlight of our day was finding a mommy with her 3 babies!

thanks to the lazy pitbull for hosting 52 snapshots of life blog hop.

proud as a peacock

arcadia ca is known for the peacocks that roam free on the streets near the arboretum. we went to see them the other day to take some pictures.


bailey has seen them before so she wasn't too excited to see them again. she says 'seen one peacock, seen 'em all'.
(sorry bout the glare on the window. we have those child-safe windows that only go down half way. very annoying.)


here is a clearer view of the guy bailey was looking at.


they are very curious birds and will walk right up to your car...


even if you're right in the middle of the street!


isn't he magnificent?
