Was gonna save these for little later when I first post some other pictures from the Kew Gardens in London, but you know, felt like posting these first.
So you know, long story short, Kew Gardens has "wild" peacocks strutting around the park!! I didn't know it before I went there. I had been in the park for a good hour already, walking around with my camera, admiring all the trees and plants around. Suddenly I saw this near mythical creature in front of me! I was so excited, you have no idea. I didn't even have time to get over the first one when another appeared on sight, I felt so lucky! They were very proud looking, knew they were safe among the people and they clearly knew they are fucking magnificent and nobody is aloud to touch them!
I've never seen anything so enchanting and beautiful in my life, truly a miracle created by nature. Fuck unicorns, peacocks are the shit! This is as fantastic as an animal can possibly get, and I don't need anything else. All I could have hoped for is that they would spread their tail feathers, but I'm fine with this show too. Blue is my favourite colour, and those green and turquoise shades are just insanely beautiful in real life, how can something like that exist?
I think I spend a good half an hour just walking close to one of the peacocks and taking a few pictures. At one point I was doing my gremlin pose, and the peacock walked closer to me, only a meter away and posed so I could get a good shot. That is the second picture here.
I don't know what else to say, just look at the peacocks, they are so incredibly beautiful!!
Shot with the Nikon D7200 and Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8.
I wasn't the only one trying to get close to the birds with my camera.
