Photo Friday


So, I think I'm going to try to do a photo on Fridays, with minimal chatter.

First up is this 



I could hear this guy calling half way down the block, as Rachel and I came out of the organic salon where I get my haircut.  I said to Rachel "that's a peacock!"  You can tell because they sound like Kevin from "Up."

Then I spotted him so we drove up past the house where he was.  He was pretty worked up - didn't see any peahens or anything, but when we stopped to take his photo - he shook his whole body at us!  Lol! We were properly impressed! 

Peacocks have such beautiful coloring, don't they?

So, have you ever seen a peacock in person?  I've seen them before but this was the funniest experience!

There are peacocks in a couple of the parks nearby and sometimes they go walk-about and end up in the neighbourhood. Their cry is unmistakable!
