Pumpkin Patch Peacocks! Peacocks? You heard right!

As I mentioned in earlier posts, my daughter April came down this weekend to visit and we headed out to the Pumpkin Patch. We call it the pumpkin patch, but actually it's the Murray Family Farms we visited. More about the farm itself in tomorrows post but for now I wanted to join Mary from Little Red House for her Mosaic Monday

and Sally at Smiling Sally for Blue Monday.

There was lots to do at Murray Family Farms. You can click here to go to their website to learn more about them. It's so pretty there!

One thing we visited was the Peacock pen/aviary? Peacock zoo maybe? Here's a small sign they had up with some information on the type of Peacocks they had there. See why it qualifies for Blue Monday? Cause they are Indian Blue Peacocks!

The Peacocks were great until they saw the camera and I think most of them are camera shy because they would turn around and run away. You think they would be used to camera's with all the people there all the time.

You should be able to click on any picture to enlarge them and see more detail.

The following photo I found online at this site. Please feel free to go there and see more pictures and information on Indian Blue Peacocks.


Aren't they beautiful? Hope you enjoyed seeing them. Please visit the other two blogs posted above for more lovely mosaics and sweet blue things!

    I love your mosaic of the peacocks. They are very pretty.

    I've been to the Murray Family Farms once when I was leaving town headed back to Las Vegas. I really, really enjoyed it. I love stuff like that. I want to go again.

    summur braley - They were very pretty. Very shy though. It's funny that the male is so colorful and beautiful and the female, called the peahen is so drab, of course, some days I feel like the poor peahen...lol.

    I love peacocks! They are so majestically beautiful. Youa sked me if I do all the work in the garden? We have 2 part time gardeners but I do all the planning and directing and I do a lot of the work too. Most of the time, I work along their side. Thanks for the visit!...Christine
