RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME

A light breeze swept up this peacock's tail feathers to create a very singular fanning out of its plumage.

With the rose garden in full bloom of the Parc Bagatelle as a backdrop, we felt we were at the right place at the right time to snap this photo. Bois de Bologne, Paris.
