Or maybe it's just that my expectations aren't so high in this one.<BR/><BR/>Nan16, I made a quickie visit the other day and saw your pretty turkey picture, but I was in a rush and just doing a sort of blog-reading "drive-by." I need to go back and read more about him.<BR/><BR/>Becky, I'm glad I made you laugh. You might be my farthest-away visitor ever. Hmm. Now I'm gonna have to research whether North Korea is farther away than Australia.<BR/><BR/>Patsy, if anyone's gonna recognize a domestic-fowl story, it's gonna be you. I think you have some kind of feather radar.<BR/><BR/>CreekHiker, you know me too well. I hope you find "peababies" and take photos of them. I'd love to see them. Regarding Mr. Pea and his crushes, I can't fool myself that we have a special relationship. He's here a lot, but he works the whole neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>Robbin, isn't that blue amazing? The peacock has so many different colors and patterns of feathers that it's hard to know where to look. <BR/><BR/>Val, I got some new pictures of him yesterday and will post them for you this afternoon. He's tame enough that he'll take food from my hand, but he keeps enough distance between us that it wouldn't be possible to reach out and touch him.<BR/><BR/>Betty, you crack me up, too. Whoever was the first person to coin the "proud as a peacock" phrase had obviously had close personal encounters with these big birds.<BR/><BR/>Mike and Kat, I'm glad I gotcha!<BR/><BR/>Ex-Shammickite and Sister-Three: I've read all the stories about what happens when you kiss a frog. Do you think the same magic might apply to kissing a peacock? If I can ever get him to hold still long enough, I'll let you know.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-61070806371676638772008-04-05T05:26:00.000-05:002008-04-05T05:26:00.000-05:00Oh, he is so beautiful.
