We took a short road trip up to Sonoma today and visited a few wineries. Cline Cellars in Sonoma, CA has many Chinese Pheasants. I was quite fascinated with these beautiful birds. I wish I had taken the time to photograph their descriptions so I could provide more information here.

This pheasant was a rather shy fellow, preferring to hide in his cloak of lovely feathers. I did manage to get one shot of him walking.



After visiting the birds we stopped at the wine shop and were greeted by this nice fellow.


After a few minutes of pleasantries, I realized that I was talking to a wax statue.
I’m rather disappointed in my recent attempts at photography. I don’t know why I have all but given up a hobby that makes me happy. I obviously need to get back out there and use my camera more.
