Ellen was ahead on the trail, though not by much since this was tight squeeze. We had walked a short distance from behind the main plantation house and turned on a short cut.
Well, the trail makes a sharp turn and suddenly we were blocked. One of the locals was taking a short cut too, right to us.
This is a single file kind of spot but I did step off about a foot giving him room to pass. Of course he just stood there do nothing, like we were expected to turn around and leave.
I grabbed this shot, best I could get in the dark and so close.
Finally he did walk by, he also moved to the far edge giving us space.
About the last thing I expected LOL
Whew! 😅
It was funny.
Funny, and you got a nice capture of him!
Thanks. The only shot though, he was way too close. You were shooting way too long I think.
All that beautiful blue.. so gorgeous!
The meet up was a big surprise, but it ended well. I didn’t mention Peacocks are a ‘little testy’.
SMILE…….
They can make people do that 😄😄
Stunning colors – didn’t know they were testy – but, in all honesty, I’ve only seen them in captivity. Have a great day Ted !
They are certainly ‘vivid’. The old plantations kept Peacocks years ago. A status symbol, rare in the 1700-1800 and also they make great guards. Anything out of the ordinary and they scream like a banshee 😆. The plantations have them now roaming loose for the tourist to see. And unfortunately for the big Bobcats to eat. While we don’t have Panthers any longer we do still have Bobcats.
Well Ted, after the alligators you mentioned wild boars, and now bobcats too – this just keeps getting better 🙂 Sure, there might be places in Africa that are technically wilder or more dangerous, but honestly? I don’t think you’re that far off anymore.
😆😆, it’s different yes, but we don’t lose anyone. Besides compared to a big city it’s a piece of cake.
Beautiful pic 💯
😁😁, thank you. A quick snap since we were pushing past each other 😆.
