So, as I am trying to fulfill wishlist requests this week, I have posted this photo in partial response to the zoo request. Though there are zoo pictures in our future, I had to put this one up anyway. Here’s why:
I was on assignment photographig His Lordships Kindness in Prince Georges county for furture MDDP posts. I was disappointed becasue, though the signs say tours are available from 10-4 on thursdays, I later found out from the internet that such times don’t apply in February. So I was walking around the grounds by myself. Coming, at last, to the perfect spot, to frame the the house in a shot between some bushes, I looked down and said, “(expetive) (expletive) is that a peacock?”
But I looked again, and there it was. I thought, “What’s a peacock doing in Clinton?”
Then, I took a photo, examined the photo, and looked up to find that he had moved. Then I realized he hadn’t moved but that there were two of them…. and then a third. Upon my return to the office and the wikipediaing of peacocks, I found out that only the males are peacocks and that I can’t really tell what kind this is. So, what I have for you today is a picture of free state peafoul.
