Photohunt: Bright

photohuntersbz9

We went to Lemon Rose Farm again today, and I managed to get some shots of the guinea fowl that wander around the place. I love the BRIGHT blue on their faces, because it contrasts so nicely against their body feathers.

Great shots. We used to keep those things around to eat the bugs around the place, especially the ticks. They are terribly ugly birds, but they do the trick!

OMG, that's one ugly creature! I didn't think anything was as ugly as a muscovy duck...but this is! Poor guy! Good thing he's got some color :-)

I love the soft focus you've got on the bird. I wonder what species is that? Looks like a bald turkey to me :X heeheee..
