I had the pleasure of photographing this breathtaking male Golden Pheasant at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The males of this species are a true spectacle, adorned with a dazzling array of colors. From their golden-yellow crest to their vivid red sides and iridescent blue-green back, these birds are a living rainbow. Their brilliant plumage is not just for show; it plays a crucial role in territorial displays and courtship rituals, impressing potential mates. Seeing such a vibrant creature in person is an unforgettable experience, and I hope this photo brings a touch of that wonder to you.

My Optimism of Color Blog
Every Tuesday and Friday, I post a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.
Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
