Peacocks, in my humble opinion, are one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet. I was lucky enough to have a peacock family in my neighborhood for awhile while I was growing up (although, some considered them a menace due to the loud noises they would make — never bothered me). Still, they weren’t always so easy to get a glimpse of with their tail feathers raised and pictures such as these below still amaze me.
Enjoy this week’s 10 Friday Photos.
(As is becoming all too common, I couldn’t keep it to 10.)
