I was shooting the building, but thought it needed something. Then I spotted this school bus down the road. Got the shot but was focused on foreground street lights. Would love to be back with a 5×4.

From my collection: / Enchanting Peafowl at the Garden of Eden, Maui, Hawai’i Na Ka Pueo Maui In the lovely tropical Garden of Eden on Maui there is a wonderful bird feeder very much like a candy or gumball machine. You drop your quarter and turn the slot and out spills a special blend of feed for the many birds in this beautiful botanical garden of Puohokamoa Valley. It is wonderful as the birds have become conditioned to the sound and come from all directions to feed. It is a perfect photo opportunity. I sat on the ground and photographed the beautiful Peacocks, dove, ducks and other birds, filling a two gig card. Proud and beautiful the Peacock struts and poses for me. / / The magnificent male has a long train of beautiful feathers, with eye spots, brown, yellow and green with black centre, brilliant blue feathers on the body, green iridescent plumage and beautiful yellows, and grey feet. The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called “tail” of the peacock, also termed the “train”, is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned. The Indian Peafowl is probably the oldest known ornamental bird. It was first introduced into the Mesopotamian cultures more than 4,000 years ago and then Into the Mediterranean area. Since that time, many different colors and breeds have been produced by man, including mottled, white, and a black-winged variety. Peafowl, particularly the brightly colored peacock, are one of our favorite captive birds, well suited for parks, zoos, and other domestic situations. The peafowl is the largest member of the pheasant and turkey family. Although commonly called peacocks, this term is properly applied only to the male peafowl. Female peafowl are called peahens. There are two species of peafowl found in the wild, the Indian Peafowl and the Green Peafowl. The magnificent white peacock is actually an Indian Blue. Peafowl build shallow nests made of sticks, leaves, and grass. Nests are usually located in the undergrowth of the rainforest. The female (Peahen) Indian Peafowl has a mixture of dull green, brown, and grey in her plumage. She lacks the long upper tail coverts of the male but has a crest. Females can also display their plumage to ward off danger to her young or other female competition. Peafowl can be companion animals but there may be problems with dogs, cats and other pets. They may roam and roost on adjoining property. Peafowl have been called “urban guard dogs” because their distinctive cries can act as a warning of approaching people. Peahens lay from 3 to 5 whitish eggs usually in a shallow depression dug in the ground, hidden underneath brush or in some other concealed location. The female incubates the eggs for approximately 28 days. After hatching, the young chicks follow the mother about for protection, even though they are capable of foraging on their own. The Indian Peafowl is native to India. In the wild, these peafowl usually live in small family groups, preferring dense, hilly jungle near water. The closely related Green Peacock is found in southeast Asia. During the spring breeding season the peacocks are courting and displaying their beautiful feather fans, providing a popular photo opportunity. According to Greek mythology, the “eyes” on the tail of a peacock were placed there by Hera to commemorate her faithful watchman, Argus who had a hundred eyes (Ovid I, 625) In the local folktales of India the peacock has a special place. A Punjabi folktale describes a Queen reqesting her husband not to hunt peacocks and tells that the peacock is her brother. Although peafowl are large, powerful birds, they are somewhat weak fliers and spend much of their time on the ground looking for food or perching. Peafowl feed on many different types of food including both plants and small animals. They seem to be especially fond of snakes, even poisonous ones! Peafowl will fly for short distances, especially to escape danger, and also to roost in treetops at night. Peafowl, particularly the males, are one of the most colorful and strikingly marked of all birds. O ne of the best known features of these birds is the fan or “train” of the peacock, which is opened and displayed by the male to attract the peahen. These feathers are actually long extensions of the upper tail covers. They are supported from underneath by the much shorter tail feathers. These feathers grow to be several feet long, but are shed each year just after the breeding season. Each of these long feathers also has a design near its tip which resembles an eye. The feathers of the peacock are composed of many colors, including Crescent sheens of bright blue and green. The peahen lacks these long, showy tall feathers and although colorful, is not nearly as brilliant as the male. Both sexes also have a crest of short, erect feathers along the crown of their heads.

ROUTE 66 - GOODBYE TEXAS, HELLO OKLAHOMA!

LEAVING TEXAS! As we left McLean, the Texas sun was low on the horizon. Who knows what time it is or what day it is on road trip? We looked at our watches and then the calendar. Bad news! We have to be home day after tomorrow! It is time to boot it and make some tracks… We had to take the interstate but still made a couple of exits off to Route 66. The old road runs a close parallel to I-40, which made our next two stops much quicker. We stopped in briefly at Shamrock because of the infamous “U Drop Inn”, a 1936 structure with an art deco style that includes two steeples. The building has been restored with beautiful neon lights and now houses the Shamrock Chamber of Commerce. There was probably more to see in Shamrock, but we needed to make it to the Oklahoma border before bedtime to stay on track and arrive home on schedule. We left the great state of Texas in our rear-view mirror. See y’all next time! HELLO OKLAHOMA! The sun had just gone down when we made a quick cruise on Route 66 through Sayre, Oklahoma. The guidebook indicated that there were two storm-cellar type entrances on either side of the main street on Route 66. These were actually entrances to an underground walkway which was built because Route 66 was once so busy that it was unsafe for pedestrians to cross. We looked for these entrances but never saw them. It was getting dark and we were in a hurry so we could have missed them or they might have been removed or closed. I was excited at the prospect of seeing Owl Drug, right in downtown Sayre on Route 66. It was famous for having Oklahoma’s largest antique soda fountain. Imagine my disappointment upon peering in the window to see that it was closed and in the process of being stripped. This is becoming more and more common on Route 66. I was so distressed to see Owl Drug being dismantled that I forgot to even take a photo of the outside building and sign. In the photo above, you can get a glimpse of the orange Rexall / Owl Drug sign on the other side of the road at the red light. This bison in blue uniform was located in front of the City Hall. I took this photo out the window with the camera perched on a bean bag. We didn’t have time to stop and read the plaque, but maybe on our next trip. With only a few hours to spend tomorrow in Elk City, we sadly realized that we would be seeing most of Oklahoma’s Route 66 on our next road trip. Where did the past eight days go? Time truly does fly when you are having fun!
