Description

Captured way back on 12/4/05, at the beautiful Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in beautiful Arcadia, California. What hubris. This peacock, shown about to go up the steps and past the entrance to the snack and gift bar, pretty well has his way around the grounds, and is absolutely unperturbed by the presence of humans. In fact, typical of all the peacocks at the Botanic Garden. Cheerybye.

One of my most vivid memories of this place is the haunting calls of the peacocks...there are some roaming around at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle (and also at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma) that have the run of the zoo and parking lot grounds. Must be a good life. Superb capture, Harry!

Great shot , Harry :) A little story ;) When I was growing up, the neighbors had a peahen. She was an ornery thing. She roamed the neighborhood, and if you happened to be in her way she flew at you claws first. We called her Turkey...lol. It got so that if you wanted to go out, you would look for Turkey and make sure she wasn't around. Finally, they built a coop from which she could not escape. The neighborhood, once again, was safe to roam ;)
