While on safari at Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, we saw many a peacock and peahen. These two were perched high in a tree, looking down on the park lands below them.

There was something quite royal and regal about them being that high up and so composed.

    Agree with Angie, magical indeed. I can seem to figure out if " visions " are your dreams? Or theirs…:)

  • Ahh, maybe I’m a peacock? Lol.. I love the thoughts this stirred with you, Ang :)
