On a walk this week I encountered many peacock going about their daily rituals.
in trees,
standing upright and regal,
in full display to in hopes of attracting a mate.
They were probably wondering what I was doing with my
little black box in front of my face clicking away.
Throughout history peacocks have symbolized eternal life
in the Christian religion; benevolence, patience, kindness and
compassion for the Hindu; and were the guardian of royalty to the Persian
and Babylonians. I feel fortunate whenever I encounter a peacock
and never take this magnificent bird for granted.
A peacocks color is so incredibly vibrant and they are such elegant looking species~
