I noticed that when we were there last time, the peacocks didn't run away like they used to. What a great capture! #10174051

Thank you everyone.

I was using my joby gorillapod, so I was shooting at a very low angle. I couldn't believe when I looked up from behind the camera, the peacock was right in front of me. LOL!!!
