The photo above might look familiar to some of you if you dropped by yesterday. If not you can look at the post below this one. The comments from yesterday's post had a request or two that I would like to answer. I had an invitation from Tell Me Thursday (about Wordless Wednesday) to share the story behind the photos. The photos were taken at our local aviary which has a wide variety of birds from around the world. When I arrived the first thing that caught my eye was this fellow. He was walking around with his head held high and strutting his stuff. Then he flew to the top of this perch and began to groom and pose. He put on quite a show which I did my best to capture in photos. Want to hear more stories about Wordless Wednesday posts? Visit Tell Me Thursday.
I also had a question from Strawberry Jam Anne. She asked if he had displayed his feathers.Anne, he did indeed!
And I am also participating in Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. The letter this week is "F" and "F" is for Feathers. Be sure to visit Alphabe-Thursday for more of the letter "F".
Mister Peacock was really showing off.

What gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous pictures! That is one incredible tail to carry around, well worth it when displayed, too.
Hi Judy and Miss Cindi Lou,
We did certainly enjoy part 2 of Mr. Proud as Punch Peacock. I don't think I've ever seen one with such a array of feathers. Alphabet Thursday that sounds very interesting. I'm always looking for new ideas. I'll check it out.
BTW: Mom loved your GA roots mentioning So. cornbread with chili that is exactly what we had with it...and if I must say my mom makes some good cornbread. Mom here Madi loves cornbread!!! HA

How gorgeous is that? I love peacocks, thanks for sharing you F for Feathers, it was great!
He liked you, flirting and strutting and posing for you!
I think the peacock was proud of all the Olympic coverage at NBC! What a gorgeous bird!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I have lived in Anchorage (a NJ transplant) since 1982. Love it here (except the inexplicably high gas prices..)
That is one FINE-FEATHERED FABULOUS FRIEND! Great pics!!! Happy Alphabe-Thursday!
Birds are always one of my most favorite things to photograph!
Great shots!
He is fabulous. What a thrill!
I really like the last photo where he totally fills the frame with his glory! Wow! What a guy!
Fabulous "fotos" of your fine-feathered friend! The last one is my particular favorite. Amazing "F" post!
Ditto on the fabulous "fotos" of the feathered friend! That first shot is the most amazing peacock photo I've ever seen. Thanks for joining in today with this incredible post for Alphabe-Thursday.
That is beautiful!
I have yet to get a spread of feathers like this one, we have many of them wandering at our local flea market, but it seems if I have a camera they don't spread their tail feathers, it is like they KNOW. thanks for the story. the color in the 3rd one is awesome
fantastic peacock pics - i once had one chase me when i was trying to take it's pic AAAA :D
this pic is gorgeous! I just love peacocks...they make me smile.
what a truly gorgeous bird! great photos!
amazing fotgrafx Judy! what a show!!
That's it in that first photo!!! (excited!!) That's what i have been seeing every morning--those feathers flowing down to the ground. It is just amazing, so that is my fav of your beautiful photos.
When i first saw the one here, i thought it was a vine on a fence; took a double take and realized what it was.
I like the other photos and really enjoy how you incorporated a couple of memes together. Thanks for telling about Tell Me Thursday-i had no idea!
This post really brightened my day Judy, and not to sound like a whiner--I needed it, so thank you!
Hope you are having a magical day!

Such a handsome fellow must have all the ladies after him. A x

Peacock feathers are so beautiful. Great photos.
I almost posted a peacock photo yesterday. I'm glad I didn't. It paled in comparison to yours!
OMG! The feather is breathtaking!

I think peacocks are so pretty, but gosh they're obnoxious when they're making noises *L*
Good Morning...WOW what beauty!! Man can never duplicate the works of God! THe color in those "F"eathers are magnificient!!
Thanks for sharing with us today and thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit. We love having company!
Beautiful feathers!
Beautiful....love the peacock feathers on those boys...our neighbors have one who talks all the time in the summer but it's a girl and not that cute! (Males attract the females with their colorful feathers).
Oh my goodness, he is just magnificent. That first shot looks like he is wearing a king's robe. Just beautiful! Kathy
spectacular pictures!
Beautiful feathers, great F post!
Peacocks are so beautiful! I used to chase after them at the zoo when I was a little girl.
These are so beautiful they don't even look real.
I absolutely LOVE your header photo. I especially like how you can see other parts of the plant in the rain drop. Amazing.
Found you thru Friday Follow. (I'm late due to the flu yesterday.) I take lots of photos but none like yours. Perhaps you can give me some pointers after you check my blog. :)
