I finally got the chance to visit the local zoo last week. Like most zoos here in China people are encouraged to feed the animals . Of course I have to buy the feed myself which means extra income for the zoo. What I enjoyed most is getting close to the animals, because they are used to people giving them goodies the animals are not afraid to get near you. In the bird sanctuary I found this peacock roaming around freely waiting for us to give it corns./ seeds…she even allowed me to pet her for a few seconds …thus I got this opportunity to get this very close up shot! Awesome!


The blue of this peacock about takes your breath away! You got a marvelous shot! Thank you for sharing!

How beautiful and so interesting to see your blog and hear about your life in China. My husband has been to China several times on business but he no longer works for that company so he probably won’t be going back.
thanks Candace..I enjoyed your blogs too..thanks for dropping by:)
Beautiful picture – he seems to be posing for you… I can imagine him saying, “This is my best side, and I how do you like the tuft on top of my head? I had it done especially for you, so you could capture it on film. I’m quite lovely, don’t you think?”
Thank you for sharing! Many blessings to you.
