A Pig and Various Birds

Last weekend I visited a farm and saw pigs and chickens. I bought a couple of items from their small store and admired their flowers, which I will show another day.

Yesterday I made a visit to Seven Bends State Park. I saw a couple of domestic birds that were visiting from the property next door. 

I’ve shown pictures of Barney the peacock before. He thinks the park is his domain and he came right up to the car.  When he left the pavement to stroll on the grass, I thought that would make a natural background for a picture. It wasn’t until I viewed the image later that I saw it had been photobombed by a butterfly!

The road from the park crosses the North Fork of the Shenandoah. I spotted a great blue heron and parked to take his picture, but he looks small. I wished I had my Nikon with my because my cell phone does not zoom nearly as well. I have seen him in that spot before so it must be a good fishing spot.
