We had missed that in Nice they do not close their museums on Mondays – but on Tuesdays. Instead we went to Phoenix Parc near the airport, a short train ride and we were there.
Many flowers and some animals – a sunny and relaxing walk! One of the peacocks decided to show off his beauty – and we had a hard time figuring out if his front or back was the most attractive part of him…
The flamingos were spotted from down under the foliage, pruning and prancing…
So, feathers and flowers – another lovely day in Nice!
Leya 
Loving the colours and clarity of your beautiful photos xx
Thank you so much – it was a nice outing!
Lovely feathers and flowers 🙂 The flamingos look great, such intense pinks (I wonder if they feed them extra shrimp on purpose?) but I’m in no doubt the peacock looks best from the front!
Haha, well, they might be feeding them extra shrimps – looks are important here…
My favourite sort of outing
Mine too!
Love the close up of the feathers
Thank you – they are beautiful close up, real wonders.
Gorgeous photos, A-C. They made me happy.
Then I am glad! ♥
Wow! What a terrific day you had. These photos are amazing. The cacti is my favorite. That composition is unique and so beautiful.
Thank you, Egidio – my favourite too! I have a big cactus in my house, bought in the 1970’s, but it has toppled over several times, so maybe not as big as it once was…but I love cacti. They seldom bloom over here thow – a bit too cold.
Thank you for such a lovely garden visit on yet another grey and wet day.
Oh Jude, I still cannot quite believe we had that beautiful weather and so much to see those days in Nice. We have it all grey as well. And foggy. But a bit less windy now at least. Happy memories when spring and summer seems far away…
It’s been a long wet winter 🙁
That peacock is a stunner!
Thank you, Anne! I still think they are very beautiful, but a bit neglected as they are too common.

Gorgeous images Ann-Christine! They remind me I’m overdue for a visit to a large garden.
Haha, well, so was I – hopefully you will visit one soon!
Thanks!
Those orchids are fabulous and we saw cactus flowering just like that here the other day. The miracle of peacocks! Happy Thursday, Ann-Christine!
Thank you, Jo! Somehow i think peacocks are a bit overlooked…they are too common!
Did you visit a park or paradise ?
Well…maybe a paradisiac park? ♥
