I grew up in Arcadia, CA, which is home of the LA County Arboretum. My parents' house was only 1 block away from the arboretum, in "The Rancho" area. We were one of the areas inhabited by the arboretum's peacocks. Everybody thought they were a nuisance, but I always loved them! To this day, if I hear a peacock, I think of my family home. Many ranches do have peacocks. They are great watchdogs! This handsome fellow was at the arboretum in 2005 when hubby and I went back for a visit. Isn't he gorgeous?

Neighbors had a peacock for a while. I was surprised to see it at the driveway when I came home from work one evening. I finally knew that there was no one torturing a cat in the neighborhood.
But they are beautiful and a great P.
This bird never read the comment 'Blue and green should never be seen!' Which is lucky for us!
Wonderful colorful picture!
Very noisy but oh so beautiful. Great post for the letter P.
I visit the aboretum frequently since I picked up my camera again. The peacocks are a favorite of mine though I haven't posted many pics of them. I haven't felt as if my photos do them justice.
