Peacock teased me by danette

Peacock teased me

Today's word was Urban or Rural. I thought that was the word yesterday! Today, it was nearly dark when I was able to go out and try to get a photo. I went to the only rural street very close by. Low and behold, I saw a pea hen crossing the street. I stopped my car in the middle of the road and tried not to chase her away. A homeowner here has owned them for decades and allows them to run wild. Then, the peacock appeared and played hide and seek with me. As soon as he would appear on one side of my car, once he saw me with my camera, he'd go back the other way. In this one, he is lit with my headlights.

I am posting another one in my other album showing our little game.

@megmills We sure had fun! It was the highlight of our night. I didn't even know if they would be out. Sorry that the peahen lost out to the more colorful peacock!

@jodimuli Ah, that would have been wonderful. It was amazing he even let me capture his tail and body together. I had to be sneaky. I'm sure I went around the car 20 times.

That isn't something you see cross the road very often! Neat capture!
