After this Indian peacock popped out from underneath a large opening in an old grey shed at Longstreet Farm this afternoon and then proceeded to ignore me and scurry away, this peahen suddenly appeared on the scene and started to aggressively approach me.

At first I thought: "this is great, it's actually letting me take some nice photos."

But it quickly devolved into it looking more like it wanted to eat whatever it was that it thought I had.

I actually uttered the words "sorry, I don't have anything for you to eat."

I was just about to click the shutter again and then it happened - pop - it cold-cocked my camera lens. And it's a pretty jolting experience when your holding the camera up to your face and it happens!

There was a nice amount of schmutz on the lens but, thankfully, it didn't get damaged.

My bad for not knowing when close was "close enough."

Here's a Steemit post from about three months ago where I also featured one of the peacocks at Longstreet Farm:
