This shot was taken during a trip to the St. Louis Zoo in 2004.

This peacock was walking freely around the zoo strutting his stuff. As you can see from the picture, he was definitely not camera-shy!

Here's a full-length view:

And here's a different peacock, this time at Grant's Farm in St. Louis, in all his glory.

Peacocks are stunning:)

And that's exactly why they say "proud as a peacock" because when they unfurl their tail feathers they are absolutely gorgeous!

Have a great weekend!

I can't believe how many of you thought peacock for the theme - it's just cool that you shared the same idea~ I love the front shot - it's one you rarely see - more just photograph the feathers.

Lovely photos of the peacocks. :) They certainly are colourful.

Perfect! I wondered how many would do a peacock. Yours is the only I've seen so far. Very nice!

We like birds. But that bird is bigger than us. Such pretty colors they are. Loved your pictures. Blue is Tiger's favorite color. Have a safe weekend.
