From a reluctant bird photographer (they can swoop at your camera on a moment’s notice…), I’m happy regardless to announce that another bird photograph has won a feature spot in Instagram competition!
The shot is of a large, regal peacock that while not aggressive had either a natural scowl or just wasn’t too pleased with my camera. The Instagram color-themed competition was for “Blue and Green.”

This particular hub is @colorquestweekly, currently with 1,046 followers. Today’s makes a total of 10 photographs selected by this Instagram hub, and I’m very grateful for the introduction to the beautiful hub’s followers. The previous photographs selected were (1) (for my first-ever win!) red rosebud with pink and red background; (2) mosaic floating plant on a pond; (3) multicolored parrot; (4) peach roses; and (5) five in purple for the “Solo Feature.”









Here are the Instagram announcements about today’s bird selection – thank you, @colorquestweekly!
