Here in The Texas Hill Country, just 10 minutes away from the civilization of San Antonio, you see the most unexpected roadside attractions.
Today, Steve and I were out previewing and taking some photos of a home that is being built for one of our clients, we spotted this Emu. Hi coloring was gorgeous, but he was somewhat camera shy and I didn't want to annoy him (they will get grouchy...).
Here he is in all his gray and blue-green glory:
How on earth did you know this was an emu - in the middle of Texas? I would have been running to the Audubon society for identification.
I agree that you do see some unexpected things in San Antonio. When I was there last year I was walking from my hotel to the convention center and spotted an albino peacock on someone front lawn. I didn't see any emus though!
I wouldn't have had a clue that it was an emu either, but it's a cool looking bird.
Steve and Sarah - if Tammie thinks they are scary at this distance she see them up close and personal. I will try and find the picture I used some time ago to share here.
Hi Sara, nice photo. I've been chased by an Emu before, and boy are they fast!
Hello Sara and what a handsome looking bird, (Not)!
And it sure is nice to back at AR!
