My PG 101 Every Pic. Tells a Story Theme Entry

The peahen was minding her own business, eating feed. The peacock was strutting around for a long time, trying to get her attention. Then all of a sudden he sprinted after her!!!

Terrific capture, Donna. Your timing was perfect.

I've read that peacocks have a significant need for companionship. Alone, they can get heartbroken. He has no plans of being heart broken and without a family, which will hatch 28 days after their relationship in consummated.

Great motion capture, Donna -- I can see both of their legs moving yet the bodies and his beautiful tail are nice and shop. A story in the making . . . #8905775
