Peacock

28 Comments

Two peacock photos taken at two different friends’ houses.

It’s not my fault I look so fine,

My feathers seem so proud,

But deep inside this heart of mine,

No vanity’s allowed.

 

I’m just a bird of humble stock,

A very pretty strain,

I may be peahen or peacock

But don’t call me peabrain.

    Those birds really are over the top! After three years, the famous peacocks of Naramata are back. Great pictures, Anneli.

    I’d forgotten that my mother used to call me pea-brain from time to time. We both always giggled, because I knew she was kidding.

    Dear peacock, your self-confidence is truly impressive and almost as beautiful and grand as your wonderful feathers! I am sure you are definitely a real highlight wherever you show yourself. 😉 Stay so proud and charming – the world needs more colorful personalities like you! 💕

    I wish you all the best….Rosie from Germany

    It spread its tail on their roof? That day turned out pretty special.

    They are attractive. I guess they were introduced, do they roam freely?
