Wish you had been with me.......



It's not every day we see
wild Peacocks up close and personal,
but on accasion we do
and real close to home.
It's interesting how they
came to live close by.

Seems a long while back,
an old gentleman
liked
these lovely peafowls, and
very much.
I'm not sure how many he owned,
but when he
left the world, his descendants
wanted nothing to do with
the large birds,
and
released them into the wild.
Home to them now, is a tropical woodland area
near our
neighborhood.
They are such lovely gentle creatures,
and made no attempt to fly away
when I walked up to take photos.
