Conveniently located across the street from Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, California.
The Arboretum has a population of peacocks that reportedly numbers two hundred. We only saw about ten, three of which were the brightly-colored males; the rest were peahens in varying shades of gray, except for one white hen. The peacock above let me crawl on my knees to within a couple of feet of him to take this picture.

This wallpaper is based on the above painting. The arboretum is perhaps not quite this idyllic, but it's close.
