I went on a tour of the County Arboretum in Arcadia with Lilli B.  She is working as a volunteer there helping with the Garden Festival.  The specific purpose of the visit was to see “Grommet” the very unattractive Guinea Fowl that Lilli has unofficially adopted.

Grommet

At the Arboretum peacocks get all of the attention.  With good reason they are very photogenic.

Wowing the hens.

But Grommet the Guinea Fowl has an underdogs charm and a face that only his mother could love.

Oh My!

Watch for: Grommet Stories,  The TV mini-series, the book and of course the stuffed animal.

In the meantime look at this album of other photos from the Arboretum on Flickr
