Peahen?
For once the peahens got as much attention as the peacocks :)

Different aspect of the castle - seen from the back as you wak towards the lake. The sun was shining, it was a beautiful blue sky day but something about the castle seems to leech the blue from the photo :)

Peacocks and Peahens stalk the grounds of Johnstown Castle - extremely tame they wander right up and seem to love the attention. This one took refuge with us to escape the attention of a particularly enthusiastic 2 yaer old Italian tourist who wanted to hug him.

A kaleidoscope of pink flowers. Love this function on gimp, it's one of my favourite toys to play with. I find they make interesting abstracts or sometimes greeting card designs. I like the idea of a series of these framed just as a set for personal use. I'm also hoping to find some nice samples to make colourful prints for the baby's room.

Quite pleased with this as it was a question of getting the depth of field and focus right first time; and no photoshopping lol :)
