We were on vacation 11 years ago, near my hometown at the Paignton Zoo in South Devonshire (UK). This handsome fellow was walking around freely. He wasn't too far away and was obviously used to being around people.
If you would like to see other photos I took of their peacocks, you can go to this link.
I will leave you with this.
"How come it can't fly no better than a chicken?" Milkman asked.
"Too much tail. All that jewelry weighs it down. Like vanity. Can't nobody fly with all that stuff. Wanna fly, you got to give up the stuff that weighs you down."
The peacock jumped onto the hood of the Buick and once more spread its tail, sending the flashy Buick into oblivion."

Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Weekend!
A great saying, it also refers to people and their vanity.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo, I love them when they spread their feathers.
I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs, Elke.
You really got an amazing photo. Brilliant, sharp, and sunny. Love the Toni Morrison!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous capture of the head of the peacock, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is a good one too.
That's gorgeous Denise. Love peacocks :-D
ReplyDeleteMy ankle is still healing. I am back to a fairly normal life though it doesn't have a good range of movement. I am working 2 hours a days weekdays and it can cope with that. Each night, no matter what I do, it's still very swollen. So might as well do things lol. I can walk for a while but slowly. They said it's gonna take ages to get better anyway and for the swelling to go. They were happy I can walk unaided and drive and am back working. Honestly Denise, I am just so grateful to be able to walk, do basic things and drive. These simple things in life eh. Thanks so much for asking <3
They are astonishing birds, so flamboyant.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous birds. I love the blue color on him
ReplyDeleteWe’ll be in Victoria, BC later this mother where peacocks are easily seen.
