The zoo

I made time to go to the local zoo with my son this morning. It’s a very small zoo with no lions or elephants, but we had fun.

And the peacock was actually displaying his tail! With his back to us.

I managed to get around the front and grab a quick shot, but he stopped the display before I could get the wide angle on to record his full glory. I did manage to get a detail of his tail as he walked through a patch of dappled light.
