Proud as a peacock

I thought this peacock might get a bit fierce (they did last time I went to Swiss Gardens) but he didn't seem bothered and just stood and looked at me. However, when I went round the other side of the gardens and encountered his mate, that was a different story (I'll show that one tomorrow). It is cold and wet today but the gardens need the rain badly so I don't suppose we should complain and my potatoes that I put in on Friday will be pleased.

Beautiful detail and DOF.

[Judith Greenwood]

That is the trouble - when it's been so dry we can't complain - maybe it could just rain a lot at night instead?!

[Judith Greenwood]

Sorry - pressed post before I mentioned that he's a very fine peacock!

Do you think your splendid Peacock could stare down my Gryphon of 9th April?
Thanks for a splendid shot!
