Animal: Peacock at monastery
Photo by Denny Lyon
Visited this monastery outside Atlanta often - in Conyers, Georgia. This peacock and I were old friends.
The tourists that day were frustrated this bird would not pose for them and stalked off in disgust. So, I talked to the bird like I always do and he posed beautifully for me.
One of the tourists suddenly noticed I was getting some game (yes, pun!)from that bird and asked, "How did you get him to do it?"
"Oh, that's easy," I explained, "tell a man he is gorgeous and he will show off every time. It's all about a vanity stroke."
